Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate a self-monitoring of the performance of a wireless video service that is provided by a customer premise equipment (CPE) device. A CPE device such as an access point may periodically or continuously retrieve wireless video performance parameters associated with one or more devices receiving a wireless video service from the CPE device and/or one or more wireless links used by the CPE device to deliver wireless video services. The CPE device may consolidate retrieved parameters into a wireless video performance index and may compare the wireless video performance index to a threshold range. If the video performance index lies outside of the threshold range, the CPE device may output an alert to a device controlled by a content provider. The alert may provide a notification of an issue with the delivery of wireless video services by the CPE device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to facilitate the automatic configuration of a network device within a wireless distribution system (WDS) extended network. Upon the boot of a network device such as a network extender, the network device may search for an access point through the transmission and reception of wireless communications. Once an access point is found, the network device may attempt to connect to the access point and may self-configure as either a station or a station operating as an access point. The network device may make the determination whether to operate as an access point based upon one or more network and/or device parameters associated with the identified access point, and may switch between station and station-access point modes based upon the link connecting the network device to the access point.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling operation of one or more electronic devices of an audio-video system with a separate remote controller via a feedback mode of operation are provided. A command code signal is received with a receiver of a signal processing electronic device which interprets the command code signal to determine a particular action being requested. Thereafter, a request for feedback is generated in at least one of a visual form or an audible form for purposes of confirming the particular action being requested before the action is actually executed. If appropriate feedback via a further communication is received with the receiver of the signal processing electronic device within a predetermined time period following the request for feedback, the action is performed and executed by the signal processing electronic device. Otherwise, no action is executed by the signal processing electronic device.
