US Patent 11166157 Distributed management of secure Wi-Fi network

Generally described, the presently disclosed technology utilizes managed Wi-Fi networks pre-installed throughout an MDU property to provide user-specific passphrases that can be used to access the single-SSID wireless network at the property and to provide a cloud portal that can enable convenient access to the functionalities (both by the resident and the manager) provided by the Wi-Fi controller and the Wi-Fi access points. By doing so, the Wi-Fi network management solutions described herein allow the users to experience the benefits of a shared Wi-Fi infrastructure, such as not having to set up and maintain their own Wi-Fi routers, while also allowing them to easily change their Wi-Fi settings from their connected devices.
