Abstract

A wireless network client may be configured to use push button configuration (PBC) techniques to associate with wireless networks that include multiple access points. When the configuration buttons on a smart network host device, such as a wireless network host device, and an enrolling client device are pressed, one of the access points is selected to perform the push button configuration process with the client device. The selected access point then enters a PBC mode, allowing the client and selected access point to perform the authentication and configuration exchange.
