Abstract
Systems and methods of geographically limiting a cellular gateway for a Wi-Fi network include obtaining a location of the cellular gateway; determining whether the cellular gateway is authorized to operate at the location on a given cellular network; and performing an action including any of blocking, allowing, or partially allowing operation of the cellular gateway on the cellular network. The method can be implemented by a cloud service, and wherein the location is determined by one of the cellular gateway and a user device connected to the cellular gateway.
