Systems and methods permit a wireless device to receive data wirelessly via an infrastructure wireless network, without physically connecting the wireless device to a computer in order to configure it, and without having an existing infrastructure wireless network for the wireless device to connect to. A remote server hosts a website that permits a user of the wireless device to input via a computer credential data for at least one infrastructure wireless network. The content access point transmits the credential data for the at least one infrastructure wireless network to the wireless device via the ad hoc wireless network, such that, upon receipt of the credential data for the at least one infrastructure wireless network, the wireless device is configured to connect to the at least one infrastructure wireless network. |

1. A method of configuring a wireless media player to communicate via an infrastructure wireless network, the method comprising,
prior to connecting the wireless media player to an ad hoc wireless network:
storing, at a remote server, credential data for the infrastructure wireless network, wherein the credential data comprises data necessary for a wireless device to connect to the infrastructure wireless network;storing an IP address of the wireless media player in a non-volatile memory of a remote wireless communication device;plugging the remote wireless communication device into a port of a computer, wherein the computer is configured to communicate with the remote server via the Internet such that the credential data can be transmitted from the remote server via the Internet to the computer and the remote wireless communication device;establishing the ad hoc wireless communication channel between the wireless media player and the remote wireless communication device using the IP address of the wireless media player; while the ad hoc wireless communication channel is established between the wireless media player and a remote wireless communication, transmitting, from the remote wireless communication device, the credential data for the infrastructure wireless network to the wireless media player via the ad hoc wireless channel, wherein the remote wireless communication device receives the credential data from the remote server; and after the wireless media player receives the credential data for the infrastructure wireless network from the remote wireless communication device via the ad hoc wireless channel, connecting, by the wireless media player, to the infrastructure wireless network using the received credential data for the infrastructure wireless network. |
