Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to client association for provisioning devices in a communication network. In some implementations, an association request to associate with a provisioning device is received by a device operating in a sniffer provisioning mode. The device sniffs traffic over a wireless communication channel by listening to the wireless communication channel and capturing traffic on the wireless communication channel in the sniffer provisioning mode. In response to receiving the association request, the device switches to an access point (AP) provisioning mode. An association response to the association request is transmitted by the device over the wireless communication channel. Connection information for establishing a connection with an external AP is received by the device. A connection with the external AP is established by the device based on the connection information.
