Remotely Provisioning And Operating A Headless WIFI Device

A system for provisioning a headless WiFi device, comprising:

• a headless WiFi device having a wireless network interface controller and a memory, the wireless network interface controller configured to be controlled by software programming commands to provide a client WiFi interface and a software WiFi access point, the client WiFi interface configured to establish wireless connections with network access points and the software WiFi access point is configured to publish itself as an available access point;
• a mobile WiFi device having a processor, the processor being in operable communication with a memory and a mobile wireless network interface controller configured to be controlled by software programming commands to provide a mobile client WiFi interface configured to establish wireless connections with network access points and the software WiFi access point of the headless WiFi device;
• and
• a software application stored on the memory of the mobile WiFi device, the software application consisting of programming commands for controlling the processor of the mobile WiFi device to establish a wireless connection through with the headless WiFi device through the mobile wireless network interface controller by way of the software WiFi access point, and to provide values of configuration parameters associated with the network access points to authenticate the headless WiFi device on a user selected network through the client WiFi interface of the headless WiFi device, such that a wireless connection is established between the headless WiFi device and the user selected network.
