Method and apparatus for facilitating wireless access point registration

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to:

• receive a command to capture registration data of a wireless access point;
• store, in response to the command, location information indicative of a location of a mobile device that is different than the wireless access point;
• and
• send, to a compute device, a message that (1) includes the registration data of the wireless access point, and (2) associates the location information of the mobile device with the wireless access point, the message configured to prompt the compute device to provision the wireless access point such that the wireless access point can provide access to a network.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an access point registration module configured to be operatively coupled to a (1) a registration data reader, (2) a location tracking module, and (3) wireless transmission module,
• the access point registration module configured to receive registration data of a wireless access point from the registration data reader,
• the access point registration module configured to request location information of a mobile device, different from the wireless access point, from the location tracking module in response to receiving the registration data,
• the access point registration module configured to send a message, via the wireless transmission module to a provision device, such that the wireless access point is provisioned by the provision device based on the registration data of the wireless access point and the location information of the mobile device.
