A method for configuring a wireless router includes electronically reading information that is unique to the wireless router. A code is automatically generated from the information. The generated code is automatically set as one or more of a network name and a device password for the wireless router.
H04W 8/26 - Adressage ou numérotation de réseau pour support de mobilité
H04W 40/02 - Sélection d'itinéraire ou de voie de communication, p. ex. routage basé sur l'énergie disponible ou le chemin le plus court
H04L 12/28 - Réseaux de données à commutation caractérisés par la configuration des liaisons, p. ex. réseaux locaux [LAN Local Area Networks] ou réseaux étendus [WAN Wide Area Networks]
A method of utilizing device indicator lights includes providing a device that includes a plurality of device indicator lights and a user control. A first set and a second set of device states are monitored. The plurality of device indicator lights are individually utilized to communicate each of the first set of device states. It is determined if the user control has been activated. The plurality of device indicator lights are used in concert to communicate one of the second set of device states upon a determination that the user control has been activated.
A method of initiating router functions includes providing a router device having an integrated user interface having a user control and an indicator. From the router device, a first data link to a wide area network is established. From the router device, a second data link to enable a local area network is established. Via the indicator, state information regarding the first and second data links is communicated. It is determined if the user control has been activated. Upon detecting that the user control has been activated one or both of the first and second data links are modified. Information indicating the modification is communicated via the indicator.

H04L 12/28 - Réseaux de données à commutation caractérisés par la configuration des liaisons, p. ex. réseaux locaux [LAN Local Area Networks] ou réseaux étendus [WAN Wide Area Networks]
A method for collecting individualized network usage data includes routing Internet communications between a plurality of local clients and a plurality of remote servers over a common data link between a router device and the Internet. For each of the plurality of clients, characteristics of that client's communications routed over the data link are monitored at the router device. A collection of statistics reflecting the monitored characteristics are maintained. From the router device, the collection of statistics are periodically communicated over the data link to an interested server.
