Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, at a computing device, a communication, wherein the communication includes an indication that multiple network identifiers are associated with a plurality of network devices in a local area network, wherein the plurality of network devices are configured to access the local area network using one or more gateway devices of the local area network, and wherein access to the local area network is provided by multiple gateway devices; determining multiple network identifiers are associated with the plurality of network devices, wherein the determination is made using the communication, wherein the multiple network identifiers are associated with the plurality of network devices due to access to the local area network being provided by the multiple gateway devices, wherein a gateway device is registered as a logical network and is assigned a network identifier for the logical network, wherein the logical network provides access to the local area network for network devices associated with the logical network, wherein a portion of the plurality of network devices are associated with the logical network and the network identifier, and wherein a mobile device is limited to connecting to network devices associated with one logical network at a time; dynamically determining a common network identifier for use with the plurality of network devices in the local area network, wherein the common network identifier is dynamically determined when multiple network identifiers are determined to be associated with the plurality of network devices; reassociating the multiple gateway devices and the plurality of network devices with the common network identifier, wherein the common network identifier facilitates connection of the mobile device with the plurality of network devices; and transmitting the common network identifier to one or more of the plurality of network devices.
