Cloud based prompt wireless connection method

A method of operating a home network controller device for use with an access point device and a wireless client device over a wireless local area network and configured to communicate with an external network, the access point device is configured to communicate with the external network over a first channel within the wireless local area network and over a second channel within the wireless local area network, the access point device is configured to transmit a client information signal via the wireless local area network, said method include:

• instructing, via a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a memory, the access point device to communicate with the wireless client device over the first channel;
• receiving, via the processor, a client information signal from the access point device, the client information signal relating to the wireless client device and including client disassociation data and client identification data;
• instructing, via the processor, the access point device to communicate with the wireless client device over the second channel;
• and
• transmitting, via the processor, a channel information signal to the wireless client device via the external network, the channel information signal including channel identification data identifying the second channel,
• wherein, the client disassociation data indicates that the wireless client device has disassociated from the access point device, and the client identification data enables said processor to transmit the channel information signal to the wireless client device via the external network.

A non-transitory, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions is capable of being read by a home network controller device for use with an access point device and a wireless client device over a wireless local area network and configured to communicate with an external network, the access point device is configured to communicate with the external network over a first channel within the wireless local area network and over a second channel within the local area network, the access point device is configured to transmit a client information signal via the wireless local area network, wherein the computer-readable instructions are capable of instructing the home network controller device to perform the method include:

• instructing, via a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a memory, the access point device to communicate with the wireless client device over the first channel;
• receiving, via the processor, a client information signal from the access point device, the client information signal relating to the wireless client device and including client disassociation data and client identification data;
• instructing, via the processor, the access point device to communicate with the wireless client device over the second channel;
• and
• transmitting, via the processor, a channel information signal to the wireless client device via the external network, the channel information signal including channel identification data identifying the second channel,
• wherein, the client disassociation data indicates that the wireless client device has disassociated from the access point device, and the client identification data enables said processor to transmit the channel information signal to the wireless client device via the external network.
