1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor comprising logic and circuitry configured to cause a wireless communication device to:
while a first radio of the wireless communication device is connected via a first network connection for communication in a first Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) over a first wireless communication frequency band, identify a second WLAN over a second wireless communication frequency band, the second wireless communication frequency band different from the first wireless communication frequency band;
based on a determination to connect to the second WLAN for Concurrent Multiple Band (CMB) network access, automatically transmit from a second radio of the wireless communication device user credentials to establish a second network connection with the second WLAN over the second wireless communication frequency band, the second network connection concurrent with the first network connection; and
route a plurality of application streams to the first and second radios for communication over the concurrent first and second network connections; and
a memory to store data processed by the processor.
