Network side beacon reports (NSBRs) may be generated based on probe signals received from one or more client devices (CDs) in a wireless network. Once enabled, an NSBR mode is configured to generate NSBRs remotely from a CD. When in the NSBR mode, an NSBR may be generated based on compiled probe signal parameters associated with one or more probe signals received from the CD.

An access point that provides link aggregation is described. During operation, this access point receives a message that may include a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) response with an Internet protocol (IP) address of a gateway for an electronic device to access a network and a media access control (MAC) address of the electronic device. Based on the MAC address and/or at least a characteristic of the electronic device (such as a configuration, a capability and/or an operating system of the electronic device), the access point may determine a different IP address of another gateway for the electronic device to access the network. Moreover, the access point may modify the DHCP response by substituting the IP address of the other gateway for the IP address of gateway in a modified DHCP response. Next, the access point provides the modified DHCP response to the electronic device.

Dynamic access-point link aggregation

Embodiments of the present technology provide out-of-band captive portal devices, networks, and methods. An example of a method includes executing a redirection of a client request for network access to a captive portal login, initiating an association between the wireless controller and the client, receiving authentication credentials of client from the captive portal login, negotiating a change of authorization with a wireless controller in accordance with RFC 5176 protocol, wherein the controller includes a mapping to a captive portal Internet Protocol (IP) address, and redirecting the client to a URL specified in the client request for network access.
