Abstract: Exemplary of embodiments of the disclosure include a method which includes determining, by a first device, whether the first device has a current time and transmitting a request for the current time to a second device if the first device does not have the current time. The second device is in a local network. The method further includes receiving, by the first device, the current time from the second device, authenticating a certificate based on the current time received from the second device, and establishing a network connection to the local network based on the authenticated certificate.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for deploying a wireless router are disclosed. One method includes accessing, by the wireless router, default credentials, checking, by the wireless router, access to a backhaul link to an upstream network, authenticating, by the wireless router, using the default credentials, procuring, by the wireless router, a customer certificate of a customer, authenticating, by the wireless router, with an authentication server using the customer certificate, procuring, by the wireless router, from a management server, a customer specific wireless mesh configuration after being authenticated by the authentication server, rebooting, by the wireless router, using the customer specific wireless mesh configuration, thereby allowing the wireless router to operate within a wireless mesh network, and broadcasting, by the wireless router, service set identifiers (SSIDs) derived from the default credentials.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses of establishing an IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by a wireless mesh network access point, a user configuration, wherein the user configuration includes a type of traffic, determining an internal interface of the wireless mesh network access node based on the type of traffic, dynamically determining a local endpoint address for the IPsec VPN tunnel based on the selected internal interface, establishing the IPsec VPN tunnel through the selected internal interface of the wireless mesh network access node, and encapsulating non-IP packets of non-IP traffic within IP packets.
