A user equipment (UE) may connect to a network via an access point, such as a base station, an eNodeB, a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (e.g., a Wi-Fi access point), or the like. The UE may experience degraded network performance and/or may disconnect from the network when network congestion associated with a connection to the access point satisfies a network congestion threshold. The network congestion threshold may be satisfied when a threshold quantity of UEs attempt to utilize the same access point for network connectivity.
