发明名称 Back-up path for in-home diagnostics and other communications
摘要 A local router for a home network pairs with a mobile device via a local network connection. The local router is also connected to a wide area network. The local router receives, from the mobile device and over the local network connection, configuration settings for a backup path for the wide area network. The backup path includes the local network connection and a mobile broadband connection using the mobile device. The local router detects an interruption with the local router's connection to the managed wide area network and forwards, based on the detecting, critical traffic from the home network via the backup path.

主权项 1. A method, comprising: initiating, by a mobile device and over a local network connection, a pairing with a local router for a home network, wherein the local router is also connected to a managed wide area network; providing, by the mobile device and to the local router over the local network connection, configuration settings for a backup path for the managed wide area network, wherein the backup path includes the local network connection and a mobile broadband connection using the mobile device; receiving, by the mobile device and from the local router over the local network connection, a signal indicating an interruption with the local router's connection to the managed wide area network; presenting, based on receiving the signal indicating the interruption, a user interface to solicit user authorization of the backup path; receiving, via the user interface, the user authorization of the backup path; sending, by the mobile device and via the local network connection, a signal, responsive to the user authorization, to activate the backup path at the local router; receiving, by the mobile device and from the local router over the local network connection, particular types of traffic from the home network to enable critical communications; and forwarding, by the mobile device, the particular types of traffic from the home network over the mobile broadband connection.
