  • Restoration of network access
    Patent number: 10278119
    Abstract: In the event of loss of connection (4) between an access point (3) and a data network (5), the access point (3) transmits instructions to a data processing device (1) connected to the access point (3) to cause the data processing device (1) to re-establish connection to the data network (5) by another means. These instructions cause the data processing device to scan for beacon signals from further wireless access points, and establish connection (7, 8) to the data network (5) through a wireless access point (6) identified in the scanning process.
