Abstract
Techniques for connecting computing devices to a network are described. For example, a network access device (NAD) connects to a first network that includes a first access point (AP). The NAD receives, from a computing device, first data identifying a second network to be established for the computing device and sends the first data to a server. The NAD receives back a first credential associated with access to the second network and sets up a second AP to the second network. The second AP is associated with the first credential. The NAD sends, to the computing device, second data indicating that access to the second network is available, generates a second credential associated with access to the first network via the first AP, and sends the second credential to the computing device via the second AP.
