Method of accessing network connectivity with a portable computing device

A method of accessing network connectivity with a portable computing device, the method comprises the steps:

• (A) providing a plurality of network routers, wherein each network router is associated with a router identification and a router password;
• (B) providing at least one remote server, wherein the remote server stores the router identification and the router password for each network router;
• providing a plurality of vendor accounts managed by the remote server, wherein each network router is associated with a corresponding account from the plurality of vendor accounts;
• receiving a new vendor request with the remote server, wherein the new vendor request includes a new router identification, a new network location, and a new router password;
• generating a new vendor account from the new router identification, the new network location, and the new router password with the remote server;
• appending the new vendor account into the plurality of vendor accounts with the remote server;
• (C) searching for at least one proximal network router within a connectivity range of the portable computing device;
• (D) routing an unverified identification from the proximal network router through the portable computing device to the remote server;
• (E) comparing the unverified identification to the router identification for each network router with the remote server in order to identify the router identification of a matching network router from the plurality of network routers;
• (F) routing the router password of the matching network router from the remote server through the portable computing device to the proximal network router;
• and
• (G) granting communication access for the proximal network router to the portable computing device.
