Claim:
1. A wireless networked device comprising: a central processing unit (CPU) executing instructions comprising a configuration function stored in a nonvolatile memory (NVM); a bus coupled to the CPU; a memory/buffer coupled to the bus; a peripheral bus interface coupled to the bus; an upstream network module coupled to the bus: a downstream network module coupled to the bus; and the NVM coupled to the bus, wherein the NVM stores the configuration function with multi-channel routing capability, wherein the configuration function establishes a first network with a downstream portable device to enable the downstream portable device coupled to the first network to utilize functions of the wireless networked device, wherein the configuration function simultaneously couples to a second network with at least one access point to simultaneously enable both a plurality of upstream portable devices coupled to the second network to utilize functions of the wireless networked device and the downstream portable device to utilize functions of the at least one access point via the wireless networked device, wherein both a peer to peer IP wireless network and an access point (AP) wireless network are initially configured for the wireless networked device using the downstream portable device and information of the peer to peer IP wireless network and the AP wireless network as configured are stored in a database of the wireless network device.
