Claim:
A method for migrating home-networking configuration information from one router to another router, the method comprising: associating home-networking configuration information received and stored at a trusted system from a first router on a home network with a user identity that corresponds to a user of the home network; establishing a communications session between a user device connected to the home network and the trusted system through a second router that is on the home network and that is located between the user device and the trusted system; determining that the home-networking configuration information that was received from the first router and that is associated with the user identity that corresponds to the user of the home network is not maintained on the second router; and based on a determination that the home-networking configuration information that was received from the first router and that is associated with the user identity that corresponds to the user of the home network is not maintained on the second router, accessing the home-networking configuration information stored on the trusted system and sending the accessed home-networking configuration information to the second router.
