Abstract: One embodiment of seamless device configuration between a network device and an access point sends a device credential associated with the network device to the access point before the network device communicates with the access point. The device credential can be used to verify the identity of the network device and can authenticate the network device with the access point without requiring user interaction. Another embodiment can incorporate a central authority maintaining a database of network devices, access points and associated users. The central authority can determine when one or more network devices can seamlessly be configured for use with a particular access point. The central authority can send the device credential associated with the one or more network devices to the access point before the network device communicates with the access point.

Abstract: A hybrid device 102, 118, 120, implementing multiple networking technologies (e.g., wireless local area network (WLAN) technologies, powerline communication technologies, Ethernet, etc.) by means of respective interfaces 114, 116, 112, 110, can be configured to execute operations to select singleton coordinating functionality in a hybrid communication network 100. In one example, a single master device (e.g., a hybrid device configured as both a registrar and a central access point (CAP)) can be selected. The hybrid device can transmit search messages to detect an existing master device and/or to identify other hybrid devices contending to become the master device. The hybrid device with the preferred device identifier is selected as the master device. In another example, operations for selecting the coordinating functionality are split into two independent stages - a CAP selection stage and a registrar selection stage. In the CAP selection stage, the hybrid device with at least a preferred device weight is configured as the CAP. In the registrar selection stage, similar operations can be executed to select the registrar. The registrar is preferrably a IEEE P1905.1 registrar. In addition to the CAP and the registrar, a standby CAP and a standby registrar may be selected. CAP 102 is coupled to network gateway 124 via a single communication medium such that it is directly connected to an external network (e.g. the Internet). A hybrid device's weight may be based on a number of WLAN communication bands.
