  • Restoration of network access
    Patent number: 10117117
    Abstract: A wireless-enabled user terminal (7) is configured to detect the absence of a connection (3) between a wireless network router (1) and a core network (2). The terminal (7) uses data by which the router (1) is identified to emulate the router (1) and set up an alternative link (8, 9) to the network (2) so that other terminals (4, 5, 6) previously connecting to the network (2) through the router (1) can continue to connect to the network (2) through the terminal (7) and alternative link (8, 9) using the same network identities as they did through the router (1) until a connection (3) between the router (1) and network (2) is installed or restored.
