1. A method of operating a first wireless device, the method comprising:
determining a first metric representing airtime usage associated with a first link between a second wireless device and a third wireless device;
determining, using the first metric, a second metric representing a first amount of throughput associated with a first path comprising the first link and a second link between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, the second link using a first frequency range;
determining a third metric representing a second amount of throughput associated with a second path comprising the first link and a third link between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, the third link using a second frequency range;
determining that the third metric is less than the second metric; and
sending or receiving first data associated with the third wireless device on the third link.
