  • Patent number: 9559975
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to quality of service (QOS) features for a router, especially a router used in a home network or local area network. In the embodiments, the router is enhanced to be capable of measuring, detecting traffic sessions, and analyzing traffic in real time. The real-time analysis identifies traffic sessions in the data traffic and provides QOS to the traffic sessions. The QOS features are autonomous and do not require user configuration or intervention. In some embodiments, the real-time analysis and QOS features are triggered during periods of congestion.

  • Patent number: 9497078
    Abstract: A method of replacing a first network-enabled device with a second network-enabled device within a network may comprise placing the second network-enabled device in client mode within the network such that the second network-enabled device is configured to search for the first network-enabled device. A protocol may then be invoked on the first and second network-enabled devices, the protocol being configured to enable an exchange of the network name and password information from the first network-enabled device to the second network-enabled device in client mode. The second network-enabled device, in client mode, may be configured according to the obtained network name and password information. The second network-enabled device may then be switched from client mode to a second mode that provides replacement functionality for the first network-enabled device. The first network-enabled device may then be replaced with the second network-enabled device.

  • Patent number: 9479990
    Abstract: Embodiments of a wireless roaming management system are disclosed, wherein the system is configured to manage roaming of a client device across access points. The system includes processor(s) and memory for storing signal strength data for access points operating on a local area network. In one embodiment, the system is configured to transfer a client device from one access point to another. For example, in response to receiving, from a source access point, a request for a roaming calculation for a client device connected to the source access point, the system can determine a target access point to transfer the client device based on the stored signal strength data and the roaming calculation. The system can then cause the client device to be disconnected from the source access point and connected to the target access point.

  • Publication number: 20160282564
    Abstract: A hybrid plug connector including an insulative housing defining a cavity to receive an optical fiber assembly therein, and a plurality of passageways to receive a plurality of terminals therein. A printed circuit board is located behind the terminals and connected to the terminals. An electrical cable is mounted to a rear portion of the circuit board. The whole optical fiber assembly is received within the housing and is somewhat back and forth moveable along a front-to-back direction for buffering for compliantly coupling with another optical fiber assembly built within the complementary receptacle connector when the plug connector is inserted into the complementary receptacle connector. A lens module is formed on the optical fiber assembly for collimating the light beams from the optical fibers.

  • Patent number: 9397978
    Abstract: A router may be configured to receive a request for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) from a uniquely-identified client device coupled to the router; send the received URL to a first remote site over a computer network; receive, from the first remote site, a value to which the first remote site has associated the URL; determine whether the received value is sufficient to allow the uniquely-identified client device to access the URL; and allow the uniquely-identified client device to access the URL if the received value is determined to be sufficient and disallow access to the URL by the uniquely-identified client device if the received value is determined not to be sufficient.
