Abstract
Implementations disclosed describe techniques and systems that improve connectivity and reduce network traffic and interference in wireless mesh networks by maintaining various mesh network devices (proxy nodes, beacon devices, printers, and the like) in an operating mode in which the mesh network devices do not advertise their presence to client devices. An outside client device seeking connection to mesh network devices, transmits a solicitation to the mesh network. Having received a solicitation, a mesh network device responds with one or more announcements (proxy node announcement, location beacon announcement, printer announcement, and so on). In response to receiving solicitations from one or more mesh network devices, the client device performs an action, such as selecting and establishes a proxy connection or a printer connection, determining a current location of the client device, or initiating some other action.
