Abstract

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems establish a wireless connection between a full-feature device and a limited user interface (UI) device to enable the full-feature device to transmit, and the limited UI device to receive, network setup information for the limited UI device to utilize in connecting to a wireless access point. For example, the transmission and receipt of network setup information include establishing a secure connection between the limited UI device and the full-feature device to configure the limited UI device as a wireless local area network client using the display and input capabilities of the separate full-feature device.
