Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 A typical arrangement is depicted in which two houses are each installed with respective wireless access points 10, 20. The respective wireless ranges 11, 21 of these access points overlap to such an extent that the respective access points 10, 20 can detect each other. In fact, both access points 10, 20 can detect and be detected by multiple other access points.

[0036] Each access point 10 , 20 has a corresponding fixed line backhaul connection 12 , 22 through the telecommunications network 3 to the internet service provider platform 4 .

[0037] The access point 10 is arranged to provide wireless access facilities to a single user terminal using two separate functional interfaces 100, 101. The first of these interfaces 100 is a public access facility available to any user terminal 50 having an account with the service provider 4 . The second interface 101 is a private access facility, available only to user terminals 61, 62 authenticated as having access...

Abstract

By automatically establishing wireless contact with the second wireless access point (20) and sending a predetermined error report message to a predetermined network platform address (7) via the second wireless access point and the second network interface, the wireless access point (10) Reporting (13) the loss of connection between the wireless access point (10) and the network (3) to the web-based service platform (7). The authentication credentials are stored in the access point, enabling automatic access to the service platform without user intervention, enabling reports to be generated without user intervention. The message may include data about the most recent use of the access point (10) or may be repeated when the user (61) attempts to use the access point (10) in order to give priority to errors reported at the service platform (7) .

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the connection of a data terminal to a data network through a wireless access point, and more particularly, to error reporting in the event that the primary connection between the access point and the data network fails. Background technique [0002] Connections to data networks such as the Internet have become an integral part of many homes and small businesses. The rapid and widespread adoption of this technology by households and small and medium business enterprises has been facilitated by pre-existing landline telephone networks to connect the customer premises to the network. Such lines use a variety of technologies from modern fiber-to-the-home to previous electrical connections with junction points using copper wire (or even aluminum wire). These older lines are also capable of delivering broadband internet service in many cases, although many of them are not designed for this. [0003] However, all types of l...
