Abstract: In wireless local area networks (WLANs) having a wireless access point and a plurality of client devices, the range of the WLAN is affected by obstructions and sources of interference. This may result in coverage gaps in the WLAN. A method is described for operating a mobile wireless device to simulate the behavior of a WLAN extender to improve the coverage of the WLAN. The performance of a data link between the simulated extender device and the wireless access point, and performance of a data link between the simulated extender device and the plurality of client devices, is measured at various locations within the user premises. The results are processed to determine the benefit provided at the various locations by an extender device and a recommended location is provided to a user.

Abstract: A wireless router having a WiFi wireless network and including a small cell for routing LTE cellular data to a mobile network core is configured to monitor connected mobile devices and determine whether each mobile device should be connect to the hub using WiFi or LTE in accordance with the current utilization of the WiFi network and the current utilization of the LTE small cell. Since the small cell data traffic is encrypted in a data tunnel to the mobile network core, the network identity information of the device's WiFi interface and the device's LTE interface is determined by consulting an address mapping store in the cellular mobile network core.

Abstract: In a system of wireless access point routing devices each creating a wireless network, a management server monitors the performance of the wireless networks to identify performance degradation. Device interoperability issues are identified according to trends in poor performance of devices connected to the wireless networks.

Abstract: A wireless network including a wireless access gateway (WAG) and methods are provided for routing traffic between non-cellular and cellular networks. The WAG interconnects at least one non-cellular network and at least one cellular network in an at least one-to-many relationship. The WAG receives a first IP address for the UE in the cellular domain and the WAG allocates a second IP address for the UE in the non-cellular domain. The WAG creates a routing rule including the first and second IP addresses for the UE and an additional data path identifier.

Abstract: A wireless network including a wireless access gateway (WAG) and methods are provided for routing traffic between non-cellular and cellular networks. The WAG receives a first IP address for the UE in the cellular domain and the WAG allocates a second IP address for the UE in the non-cellular domain from a dedicated pool of IP addresses for that non-cellular domain. The WAG also creates a routing rule between the first and second IP addresses.
