A system and method establishes a communication connection between a first, potentially input-limited device and a network-access device through an intermediate second device that is connected to the network-access device. The first device broadcasts a discovery request and receives a response from the second device. A first communication connection is established between the first device and the second device. The first device transmits a digital certificate to be sent to a remote device, which may authenticate the first device therewith. Network-login information, such as a network name and network password, are received from the second device, with which the first device establishes the communication connection. The second device may be capable of processing spoken commands (for example, in connection with the remote device), thus allowing the first device to be connected to the network-access device using spoken commands.
