Abstract
This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for the provisioning of enrollee Wi-Fi devices to a Wi-Fi network. Many Wi-Fi devices have limited or no user interface capabilities, which presents challenges to connecting and, especially, securely connecting many of these devices to a Wi-Fi network. Techniques are described to enhance the Device Provisioning Protocol to solicit and provide feedback from an enrollee device to indicate band support of the enrollee device and provide the status of the enrollee device after attempting to join a provisioned Wi-Fi network.
