1. A method comprising:
establishing, via a multilink device station, a first multilink connection associated with a first basic service set and a second multilink connection associated with a second basic service set;
setting, via an adaptive simultaneous multilink engine, the second basic service set as a priority basic service set, wherein the priority basic service set is allowed to have at least one link of the second multilink connection enabled at all times while the priority basic service set is active;
switching, via the adaptive simultaneous multilink engine, an enabled link of the first basic service set on which communications are carried, wherein switching the enabled link includes switching from using a first link of the first multilink connection to a second link of the first multilink connection, based at least in part on a dynamic dwell duration of the first basic service set; and
in response to determining that the enabled link of the first basic service set has been switched, switching an enabled link of the second basic service set based, at least in part, on the dynamic dwell duration,
wherein the dynamic dwell duration of the first basic service set is determined based, at least in part, on one or more connection metrics, and
wherein switching the enabled link of the second basic service set includes enabling the first link while the second link is concurrently enabled for a first duration, and disabling the second link after the first duration.
