Embodiments of the present invention may relate to extending a network's presence. A first device may compile an accepted device list including a second device. The first device may determine a network connection status, such as, for example, connected, weak connection, and disconnected. In response to determining the network connection status is disconnected, the first device may search for the second device. In response to determining the network connection status is connected, the first device may discontinue searching for the second device. In response to determining the network connection status is weak connection, the first device may search for the second device. The first device may evaluate connectivity information of the second device. The first device may communicate with at least one network via the second device.
