Abstract:
A method for use in a IEEE 802.11 device, comprising: wirelessly connecting, by the device, to a gateway that is part of a wireless local area network (WLAN), the gateway configured to operate as an access point (AP) for the WLAN and bridge the WLAN to the Internet; receiving, by the device from the gateway, an announcement message including a network identifier (NI) of a subnetwork of the WLAN, the subnetwork including the gateway and a first node that is also configured to operate as an AP for the WLAN; transmitting, by the device to the gateway, a request message to join the subnetwork; receiving, by the device from the gateway, a response message including a confidential credential for connecting to the subnetwork; establishing a first connection to the first node based on the confidential credential and the NI and beginning to operate as an AP for the WLAN.

Claim (Index 18):
The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:\n connect to the gateway device, by using the transmitter and the receiver, in response to detecting that at least one of the first connection and the second connection is interrupted, and receive from the gateway device a wireless channel identifier; and re-establish, by using the transmitter and the receiver, at least one of the first connection and the second connection based on the wireless channel identifier.
