The present invention provides a method and an apparatus to enable desired wireless connectivity in a high frequency and/or high speed wireless local area network for providing mobile communications to a user of a wireless communication device which may be otherwise unable to connect to the high frequency and/or speed wireless local area network in response to a request for a wireless service. By using a chipset disposed in another wireless communication device, a neural network may be formed for enabling such wireless connectivity. In one embodiment, availability of wireless connectivity may be determined to a first user of a wireless service at a first wireless communication device to communicate with an access point associated with a Wi-Fi wireless network that offers the wireless service. Absent such wireless connectivity at the first wireless communication device, additional bandwidth available at a second wireless communication device may be used to connect the first user at the first wireless communication device over another network that offers the wireless service, for example, a wide area network capable of communicating mobile or cellular data. Accordingly, a user that desires use of a wireless service in a wireless network of sparsely populated Wi-Fi access points may obtain desired wireless connectivity for mobile communications across a relatively longer range and/or at much higher transfer speeds than otherwise available.
