Abstract: A push button technique can be implemented to establish multiple secure connections between hybrid devices and to automatically add a new access point to a communication network. After button associated with a first hybrid device and a second hybrid device are activated, the first hybrid device and the second hybrid device can establish one or more secure communication links with each other via some/all of their network interfaces. In some embodiments, the push button technique can be used to establish a secure communication link between a new access point that is to be added to the communication network and an existing access point that is already part of the communication network. The new access point can receive configuration parameters associated with the existing access point via the secure communication link and can configure itself in accordance with the received configuration parameters for integration into the communication network.
