Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, are provided for wireless networking. In some implementations, a self-configuring wireless system includes one or more wireless network devices; and an access point device, wherein the one or more wireless network devices are each preconfigured with a respective key, and wherein the access point device is configured to obtain the respective keys so as to enable the access point device to establish a secure wireless network with the one or more network devices using the respective keys upon powering up the access point device and the one or more wireless network devices at a user location.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, are provided for wireless networking. In some implementations, a self-configuring wireless system includes one or more wireless network devices; a primary access point device; and a secondary access point device; wherein the primary access point device and the at least one wireless network device are preconfigured with a respective key so as to enable the primary access point device to establish a secure wireless network with the at least one network device using the respective keys, and wherein the secondary access point device is configured assume coordination for the self-configuring wireless system if a fault associated with the primary access point device occurs.
