Claim 6:
7. An apparatus comprising:
a network interface configured to enable network communications;
one or more processors; and
one or more memories storing instructions that when executed configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
first associating with a wireless client device, the wireless client device identified via a first device address;
establishing, based on the first associating, a first secure communication channel with the wireless client device;
receiving, over the first secure communication channel, a first mapping of the first device address to a stable device address;
performing first data communication with the wireless client device based on the first mapping;
second associating with the wireless client device, the wireless client device identified via a second device address;
establishing a second secure communication channel with the wireless client device;
receiving, over the second secure communication channel, a second mapping of the second device address to the stable device address; and
performing second data communication with the wireless client device based on the second mapping,
wherein the first data communication and the second data communication are tunneled between an access point and the wireless client device, and
wherein a four-way handshake is performed between the wireless client device and the access point after each of the first associating and the second associating.
