Abstract
Techniques are presented for configuring a networking device to provide secure wireless connectivity to one or more client devices. In one embodiment, a networking device is discovered that is within a wireless connectivity range from a first client device. The networking device is configured to provide wireless connectivity to the first client device. The first client device is configured to initiate a first wireless connection, without requiring a user to specify any network settings. The networking device is configured to authenticate a user to access a user interface for configuring the networking device, where the user is not authenticated based on any password.
