Claim 3:
4. A method of using a home network controller device with a first client device and a second client device, said method comprising:
establishing, via a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a memory, a first wireless network for use by the first client device;
establishing, via the processor, a second wireless network for use by the second client device;
establishing, via the processor, a number of tokens for use on the first wireless network and the second wireless network over a first predetermined number of cycles of usage;
establishing, via the processor, a first airtime fairness portion of the number of tokens of the first predetermined number of cycles of usage for use on the first wireless network;
establishing, via the processor, a second airtime fairness portion of the number of tokens of the first predetermined number of cycles of usage for use on the second wireless network;
decreasing, via the processor, the number of tokens for use on the first wireless network and the second wireless network over a second predetermined number of cycles of usage when a number of unused tokens over the first predetermined number of cycles of usage is greater than a threshold so as to establish a second number of tokens for use on the first wireless network and the second wireless network over the second predetermined number of cycles of usage;
establishing, via the processor, a first airtime fairness portion of the second number of tokens of the second predetermined number of cycles of usage for use on the first wireless network; and
