Embodiment Construction

[0029] Conventional broadband access devices such as gateways, also known as access points (APs), have at least one integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) interface. However, most devices today have at least two WLAN interfaces (dual-band, triple-band, etc.).

[0030] In many cases, with the help of the WLAN interface, all the necessary hardware is presented to utilize novel methods to restore a failed broadband connection. Indeed, although many users and equipment suppliers complain about the existence of "proximity networks", that is, wireless networks that interfere with the network in the first place, these networks can be used as part of a backup solution to deal with the presence of broadband connections in broadband access equipment. lost.

[0031] In urban areas, at least one neighboring network can always be found, and in most rural areas as well. Proximity networks can be provided by any stakeholder such as, for example:

[0032] - The same operator as the ...

Abstract

At least one hardware processor (111) in a wireless access point (110) in a first local network (120) managed by the wireless access point (110) routes traffic between wireless devices (121, 122) in the first local network (120) and a second network via a first interface (113, 114) configured for communication with wireless devices (121, 122) in the first local network (120) and a second interface(115) configured for communication with the second network and, upon determination that communication via the second interface (115) is impossible, connects (S460) through a third interface (113, 114) to a second wireless access (130) point as a wireless device in a second local network (140) managed by the second wireless access point (130) and routes (S470) traffic between the wireless devices(121, 122) in the first local network (120) and the second network via the first interface (113, 114) and the third interface (113, 114). This way a back-up connection can be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to wireless networks, and more particularly to providing backup connections in such networks. Background technique [0002] This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art, which may be related to various aspects of the present disclosure that are described and / or claimed below. It is believed that this discussion helps to provide the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. [0003] Today's world always revolves around connecting to the Internet or other networks. For example, in Finland, France and Spain, a broadband connection is considered a fundamental right, while the European Union has issued directives to show that all its citizens have the right to a broadband connection.
