Abstract: A WiFi access management system and methods of operation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, at a server, a wireless access profile and a wireless access list from a securing client device; transmitting an invitation message to an accessing client device associated with the wireless access list; receiving, at the server, a request from the accessing client device to connect to a wireless network associated with the wireless access profile in response to the invitation message; determining, using a processing unit of the server, an operating system of the accessing client device; creating, using the processing unit, a customized configuration file associated with the wireless network based on the operating system of the accessing client device, the wireless access profile, and the wireless access list; and transmitting the customized configuration file using a second encryption protocol to the accessing client device through the server communication unit.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of centrally provisioning access points is disclosed. The method comprises detecting, using a first access point (AP), a hardware address of a client device; transmitting the hardware address of the client device to one or more servers; matching the hardware address of the client device with a previously stored hardware address from a database; and retrieving a network identifier and a network password associated with the hardware address from the database, wherein the network identifier and the network password are associated with a second AP. The method further comprises generating, at the one or more servers, a customized provisioning profile with the network identifier and the network password; transmitting the customized provisioning profile to the first AP; downloading, at the first AP, the customized provisioning profile; and broadcasting a first wireless network at the first AP configured using the customized provisioning profile.
