US 2017/0013534 A1 · Directional Router Communication and Tracking

Abstract

In accordance with one or more embodiments, networking devices may allow for directed wireless communication. Such devices may direct wireless communication beams in different directions to provide access to different zones. A user may configure a system to prioritize or restrict zones or devices based on criteria. This prioritization may facilitate tiered services among users or devices. A networking device may also direct communication between multiple routers to facilitate a distributed network, allowing for a single device to provide dedicated wireless bridging while separately managing a local wireless network.
