A system and machine-implemented method for connecting to a network. Plural assignable channels for connecting to a network are determined. History data for one or more of the assignable channels is obtained. The history data indicates a number of prior network connections for the computing device via each of the one or more assignable channels. The plural assignable channels are ranked based on the obtained history data. The plural assignable channels are scanned based on the ranking. The computing device is connected to the network based on the scan.
