Abstract: A system and method are provided for a client device for use with a home network controller and a local area network. The home network controller hast network usage information stored therein. The client device also contains a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to cause the client device to: provide a calendar database; retrieve the network usage information from the home network controller; receive an entry to the calendar database; and provide an indication to the user associated with the entry to the calendar database based on the network usage information.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are drawn to a client device for use with a first network device, a second network device, an external server, the first network device being configured to communicate with the external server and the second network device being configured to communicate with the external server. The client device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory. This causes the client device to onboard onto the first network device using a first password, generate a key, and store first association information in the external server. The first association information including client device identifying data to uniquely identify the client device.

Abstract: A client device for use with a gateway device (or a Wi-Fi APD) with a key stored therein and an external server where an original singe sign on (SSO) password is stored. The client device transmits a one time password (OTP) request to the external server, obtains the OTP from the external server, transmits the OTP to the external server to authenticate the client device, transmits an encrypted SSO password request to the external server, onboards the gateway device using a temporary password, receives the encrypted SSO password from the external server, obtains the key from the gateway device, decrypts the encrypted SSO password using the key to obtain the SSO password, and changes the temporary password of the gateway device to the original SSO password.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable recording media for a user account secure with a single sign on (SSO) password hidden authentication.

Abstract: A system and a method are provided for a network access point device for use with a network extender device and a display device. The network access point device is configured to initiate an onboarding process to onboard the network extender device, to generate data to enable the display device to display a connecting status image when the onboarding process has started, to periodically check the connection state of the network extender device, and to generate data to enable the display device to display a connected status image after the network access point has been successfully onboarded.

Abstract: A electronic device may generate graphic user interface (GUI) data, based on menu data, for display as a GUI on a display device. The GUI including a plurality of user-selectable menu items configured in a first order, will update the menu data in response to a selection, by the user, of one of the plurality of user-selectable menu items. The GUI data is then updated for display as an updated GUI on the display device wherein the menu data include plurality of menu item counters corresponding to the plurality of user-selectable menu items, respectively. The updated GUI data is updated for display as the updated GUI on the display device by arranging the plurality of the user-selectable menu items in a second order based on values of the menu item counter.

Abstract: A Wi-Fi access point device (APD) includes a controller, a radio, and a memory. The memory contains instructions for establishing a programmed secure Wi-Fi onboarding SSID with the client device with connection to the external network. The controller is configured to instruct the radio to broadcast the open Wi-Fi onboarding SSID for a predetermined period of time. The controller is also configured to: instruct the radio to broadcast an established programmed secure Wi-Fi onboarding SSID; onboard the Wi-Fi APD to the external network, based on information communicated between the Wi-Fi client device and the Wi-Fi APD over the established programmed secure Wi-Fi onboarding SSID; and instruct the radio to stop the broadcast of the open Wi-Fi onboarding SSID at the earlier of a termination of the predetermined time period and the onboarding of the Wi-Fi APD to the external network.

Abstract: As network resources of a network continue to be stretched due to a variety of users and numerous network devices connected to the network, there is a need to provide management of the network resources to optimize access to the network and to provide enhanced QoE for each user of the network without diminishing a particular user's experience. A throttling management application can provide for throttling one or more requests for an asset associated with one or more network devices. A request can be throttled so as to bump higher priority requests in a queue ahead of other network requests based on a throttling factor. The throttling factor can be associated with a throttling management profile that provides a priority to certain requests of certain network devices without delaying requests from other network devices.
