Abstract
A method performed by a wireless media device such as a wireless loudspeaker subsystem for configuring and connecting to a media wireless network. The wireless media device first associates to an existing infrastructure based wireless network at a first phase. At a second phase, the wireless media device establishes a secure communications tunnel with a complementary wireless device that has also previously associated to the existing wireless network. Using the secure tunnel, the wireless media device shares with the complementary wireless device data indicative of a set of parameters for a second wireless media wireless network at a third phase. Once this sharing is complete, the wireless media device connects to the second wireless network at a fourth phase.
