Abstract
A system and method for registering a client device to obtain network access from a provider device. A server receives an authorization request for a user account to provide network access from provider devices associated with the user account to client devices associated with the user account. The server receives a unique identifier for each of the client devices, and provides the unique identifier for each of the client devices to each of the provider devices. The server provides an indication to at least one provider device to monitor for a request for network access from at least one client device, the request from the client device comprising the unique identifier of the client device. The provider device is configured to provide network access information to the client device in response to the request.
