Abstract
A method of activating and configuring a Wi-Fi enabled device to connect with a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) by a cloud-based Wi-Fi service manager is disclosed. A unique identifier of the Wi-Fi enabled device and a unique identifier of the Wi-Fi AP are received by the cloud-based Wi-Fi service manager. The unique identifier of the Wi-Fi enabled device is used as a seed for a predetermined algorithm to generate a temporary service set identifier (SSID) and a temporary passphrase. The temporary SSID and the temporary passphrase are sent to the Wi-Fi AP for configuring the Wi-Fi AP with the temporary SSID and the temporary passphrase.
