  • Patent number: 9998923
    Abstract: Access point (AP) management via secure association between APs and mobile devices is facilitated. A method comprises: associating the device with an AP that is locked, wherein the associating is performed via a proximity-based network facilitating communication based on the device and the AP being within a defined distance of one another; unlocking the AP employing a key associated with the device, wherein the unlocking the AP comprises facilitating access to one or more configuration settings of the AP via the device; and enabling a service of the AP and a corresponding service of the device to facilitate change of at least one of the one or more configuration settings via the device. In one embodiment, the associating the device with the AP comprises performing exchange of information between the device and the AP for secure pairing between the device and the AP.

  • Patent number: 9930670
    Abstract: The present invention relates to wireless networks and more specifically directed to device location confirmation based on a geolocation proxy. One embodiment includes an exemplary device location confirmation component configured to implement a device location confirmation algorithm using a cloud database configured to comprise device information including location information from the geolocation proxy. Another embodiment includes a device configured to operate in a reduced functionality radio frequency mode until a location can be confirmed through a trusted cloud service.

  • Publication number: 20170142728
    Abstract: Multiple detector coordination for monitoring of multiple channels in the dynamic frequency selection band is provided herein. A method includes performing a channel availability check on a first 5 GHz radio channel selected from a plurality of 5 GHz radio channels. The method can also include communicating to an access point device servicing a client that the first 5 GHz radio channel is available for use based on a first determination that the first 5 GHz radio channel does not comprise the first radar signal. The method can also include performing a soft handover of dynamic frequency selection functionalities to the access point device. The DFS functionalities comprise continuous in-service monitoring of the first 5 GHz radio channel. The radar detector, the beacon generator, and the 5 GHz radio transceiver discontinue continuous in-service monitoring of the first 5 GHz radio channel after the soft handover.
