A device determines a communication failure associated with a first network, and selects, based on the communication failure, a failover device from a list of failover devices. The device and the failover devices communicate via short-range communications, and the selected failover device connects to a second network. The device provides, to the selected failover device, a request to receive a service from the first network, and determines whether the selected failover device accepts the request. When the selected failover device accepts the request, the device establishes a communication channel with the selected failover device, and receives the service from the first network via the selected failover device, the communication channel, and the second network. |

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device and from a network device, an indication of a communication failure associated with the network device,
the network device connecting the device to a first network, andthe network device serving one or more other devices; selecting, by the device and based on the communication failure, a failover device from a list of failover devices,
the list of failover devices identifying at least one of the one or more other devices, andthe selected failover device connecting to a second network that is separate from the first network; providing, by the device and to the selected failover device, a request to receive a service from the first network; determining, by the device, whether the selected failover device accepts the request; establishing, by the device and when the selected failover device accepts the request, a communication channel with the selected failover device; and receiving, by the device, the service from the first network via the selected failover device, the communication channel, and the second network. |
