Abstract: A controller is provided for use with a CD, a WAN, and a service provider server, the HNC includes: a memory; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on memory to cause the HNC to: establish a priority time period; associate the priority time period with a first application; establish a first service flow queue having a first QoS during priority period; establish a second service flow queue having a second QoS; receive first upstream packets and second upstream packets; assign the first upstream packets to a first upstream queue during the priority time period; assign the second upstream packets to a second upstream queue; receive first downstream packets and second downstream packets; assign the first downstream packets to a first downstream queue during the priority time period; and assign the second downstream packets to a second downstream queue.

Abstract: Access control to one or more assets by an access point device to a client device utilizing an asset control function of the access point device that determines access to one or more assets attempting to be accessed by any one or more users of a client device is provided. In addition, there is provided a centralized repository to store and/or maintain information and/or data for use by the asset control function where the centralized repository can be local to or remote from the access point device. The novel solutions according to example embodiments of inventive concepts disclosed herein provide features that enhance the network environment of, for example, a home/residential network gateway, wireless access points, Home Network Controller, wireless routers, mesh networking nodes (e.g., Wi-Fi EasyMesh systems), and the like, by providing access control to one or more assets based on the user of the client device.
