Abstract: An information handling system router integrates wireless local area networking components and wireless cellular wide area network components to route information between a wireless cellular wide area network and plural information handling systems interfaced with a wireless local area network supported by the wireless local area network components. The wireless cellular wide area network components may include a detachable wireless cellular transceiver to support wireless network interfaces when detached from the router, such as wireless cellular for voice telephone communication or a wireless card for single information handling system communication with the wireless cellular network. Alternatively, the wireless cellular wide area network components may integrate a transceiver that is authorized to communicate with the wireless cellular wide area network by a detachable authorization module, such as a SIM module of a wireless cellular.

Abstract: In a wireless network having an access point (AP) station and a first client station communicating over a selectable channel, the first client station includes a memory operable to store parameters corresponding to a mode of operation of the first client station. Infrastructure parameters correspond to an infrastructure mode and ad-hoc parameters correspond to an ad-hoc mode. The first client station includes a control device operable to switch the mode of operation in response to a request. The control device switches the first client to operate in the ad-hoc mode using the selectable channel while maintaining association with the AP in the infrastructure mode. Switching the mode includes writing the infrastructure parameters to the memory and reading the ad-hoc parameters from the memory.

Abstract: A wireless network is provided including a wireless access point (WAP) information handling system (IHS) that communicates with client IHSs via wireless information links. The WAP IHS determines the priority of a communication request from a client IHS and the link rate of that client IHS. The WAP IHS also determines the wireless network bandwidth that is available to the client IHS to carry out the requested communication. If the available network bandwidth is not greater than a threshold needed to assure a predetermined level of quality of service (QoS) for the requested communication, then countermeasures are engaged to free up network bandwidth.

Abstract: Information handling system networking tasks are allocated between personal and local area wireless networks according to one or more factors, such as information content or network congestion. Network communications through co-located wireless local and personal area network transceivers are managed with a task allocation module so that networking bandwidth is used more effectively. For instance, office applications communicate through a personal area network, such as an Ultrawide band network, to accomplish multimedia tasks, such as video display, VoIP communication and personal network attached storage access, without causing congestion on wider used enterprise networks, such as 802.11(b) local area networks.
