Methods of the present disclosure include creating a personal basic service set (PBSS) having a service device and one or more 11ay devices, the service device configured to wirelessly communicate with the one or more 11ay devices in the PBSS, creating a UPN having an access point located in communicative proximity with the service device, and associating at least one 11ay device of the one or more 11ay devices with the UPN, wherein the at least one 11ay device is configured to establish a wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the service device when within a coverage area of the PBSS, and to establish a wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the access point when outside the coverage area of the PBSS. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising: one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more components of the system to perform operations comprising: creating a personal basic service set (PBSS) associated with a service device and one or more 11ay devices, the service device configured to enable wireless communication with and among the one or more 11ay devices in the PBSS; creating, via the service device, a user private network (UPN) associated with at least one access point located outside a coverage area of the PBSS; and associating at least one 11ay device of the one or more 11ay devices with the UPN, wherein the at least one 11ay device is configured to establish a first wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the service device when within the coverage area of the PBSS, and to establish a second wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the at least one access point when outside the coverage area of the PBSS. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the service device maintains a first registry of the one or more 11ay devices associated with the PBSS, including credentials relating to each of the one or more 11ay devices. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the operation of associating comprises: determining that the at least one 11ay device has been selected for association with the UPN. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the operation of associating further comprises: automatically registering the selected at least one 11ay device with a UPN server associated with the UPN. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the UPN server maintains a second registry of the at least one 11ay device associated with the UPN. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein the operations further comprise: modifying the UPN by adding one or more new 11ay devices. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the operation of modifying comprises: identifying the one or more new 11ay devices associated with the PBSS to be added to the UPN, the one or more new 11ay devices registered within the first registry of the service device; and syncing the first registry of the service device with the second registry of the UPN server. ### Claim 8 A method, comprising: creating a personal basic service set (PBSS) associated with a service device and one or more 11ay devices, the service device configured to enable wireless communication with and among the one or more 11ay devices in the PBSS; creating, via the service device, a user private network (UPN) associated with at least one access point located outside a coverage area of the PBSS; and associating at least one 11ay device of the one or more 11ay devices with the UPN, wherein the at least one 11ay device is configured to establish a first wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the service device when within a coverage area of the PBSS, and to establish a second wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the at least one access point when outside the coverage area of the PBSS. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the service device maintains a first registry of the one or more 11ay devices associated with the PBSS, including credentials relating to each of the one or more 11ay devices. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the step of associating comprises: determining that the at least one 11ay device has been selected for association with the UPN. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the step of associating further comprises: automatically registering the selected at least one 11ay device with a UPN server associated with the UPN. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the UPN server maintains a second registry of the at least one 11ay device associated with the UPN. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising: modifying the UPN by adding one or more new 11ay devices. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the step of modifying comprises: identifying the one or more new 11ay devices associated with the PBSS to be added to the UPN, the one or more new 11ay devices registered within the first registry of the service device; and syncing the first registry of the service device with the second registry of the UPN server. ### Claim 15 One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause performance of operations comprising: creating a personal basic service set (PBSS) associated with a service device and one or more 11ay devices, the service device configured to enable wireless communication with and among the one or more 11ay devices in the PBSS; creating, via the service device, a user private network (UPN) associated with at least one access point located outside a coverage area of the PBSS; and associating at least one 11ay device of the one or more 11ay devices with the UPN, wherein the at least one 11ay device is configured to establish a first wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the service device when within a coverage area of the PBSS, and to establish a second wireless connection with the one or more 11ay devices using the at least one access point when outside the coverage area of the PBSS. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 15, wherein the service device maintains a first registry of the one or more 11ay devices associated with the PBSS, including credentials relating to each of the one or more 11ay devices. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 16, wherein the operation of associating comprises: determining that the at least one 11ay device has been selected for association with the UPN. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 17, wherein the operation of associating further comprises: automatically registering the selected at least one 11ay device with a UPN server associated with the UPN. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 18, wherein the UPN server maintains a second registry of the at least one 11ay device associated with the UPN. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 19, wherein the operations further comprise: identifying one or more new 11ay devices associated with the PBSS to be added to the UPN to modify the UPN, the one or more new 11ay devices registered within the first registry of the service device; and syncing the first registry of the service device with the second registry of the UPN server, to thereby add one or more new 11ay devices to the UPN.
