Abstract
According to various embodiments, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes receiving, at a wireless adaptor of a device, a wireless data packet from an access point (AP), wherein the wireless data packet includes a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of the AP; changing the BSSID of the received data packet by a processor or hardware to produce a modified wireless data packet; and transmitting the modified wireless data packet to an application on the device.

-20. (canceled)
A device comprising:
- a processor in communication with a memory having instructions stored therein which, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive a wireless data packet from an access point (AP), wherein the wireless data packet includes a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of the AP;
- change the BSSID of the received data packet to produce a modified wireless data packet;
- and
- provide the modified wireless data packet to an application on the device.
A device comprising:
- a processor in communication with a memory having instructions stored therein which, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive, from an application on the device, a wireless data packet including a modified a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of an access point (AP);
- change the modified BSSID of the received wireless data packet to an original BSSID of the AP to produce a unmodified wireless data packet;
- and
- transmit the unmodified wireless data packet to the AP.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor of a device, a wireless data packet from an access point (AP), wherein the wireless data packet includes a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of the AP;
- changing, at the processor, the BSSID of the received data packet to produce a modified wireless data packet;
- and
- providing the modified wireless data packet to an application on the device.
A computer-readable medium holding computer-executable instructions thereon, the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a wireless data packet from an access point (AP), wherein the wireless data packet includes a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of the AP;
- changing the BSSID of the received data packet to produce a modified wireless data packet;
- and
- providing the modified wireless data packet to an application on the device.
A computer-readable medium holding computer-executable instructions thereon, the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an application on the device, a wireless data packet including a modified a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of an access point (AP);
- changing the modified BSSID of the received wireless data packet to an original BSSID of the AP to produce a unmodified wireless data packet;
- and
- transmitting the unmodified wireless data packet to the AP.
