A method comprising: determining whether a first hybrid device of a hybrid communication network includes an enabled access point in an operating communication band; if determined that the first hybrid device includes an enabled access point in an operating communication band, determining, at the first hybrid device, whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar, wherein said determining whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar comprises: transmitting, from the first hybrid device, a registrar search message within the hybrid communication network; and determining whether a response to the registrar search message is received within a search time interval; and determining whether to configure the first hybrid device as a registrar of the hybrid communication network based, at least in part, on said determining whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar, including configuring the first hybrid device as a registrar of the hybrid communication network in response to determining that the hybrid communication network does not include a registrar; and if determined that the first hybrid device does not include an enabled access point, determining to not configure the first hybrid device as the registrar. determining whether a first hybrid device of a hybrid communication network includes an enabled access point in an operating communication band; if determined that the first hybrid device includes an enabled access point in an operating communication band, determining, at the first hybrid device, whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar, wherein said determining whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar comprises: transmitting, from the first hybrid device, a registrar search message within the hybrid communication network; and determining whether a response to the registrar search message is received within a search time interval; and determining whether to configure the first hybrid device as a registrar of the hybrid communication network based, at least in part, on said determining whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar, including configuring the first hybrid device as a registrar of the hybrid communication network in response to determining that the hybrid communication network does not include a registrar; and determining, at the first hybrid device, whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar, wherein said determining whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar comprises: transmitting, from the first hybrid device, a registrar search message within the hybrid communication network; and determining whether a response to the registrar search message is received within a search time interval; and transmitting, from the first hybrid device, a registrar search message within the hybrid communication network; and determining whether a response to the registrar search message is received within a search time interval; and determining whether to configure the first hybrid device as a registrar of the hybrid communication network based, at least in part, on said determining whether the hybrid communication network includes a registrar, including configuring the first hybrid device as a registrar of the hybrid communication network in response to determining that the hybrid communication network does not include a registrar; and if determined that the first hybrid device does not include an enabled access point, determining to not configure the first hybrid device as the registrar.
