Abstract
A downstream wired port receives network packets over the at least one or more downstream wired port. An upstream routing table, responsive the failure of the at least one of the one or more upstream wired ports, in this embodiment, determines whether a valid route for the network packets exists over the upstream network device. The upstream routing table, responsive to determining that a valid route exists, redirects the network packets for the failed upstream wired port to the upstream Wi-Fi port.
