A multi-mode access point supports multiple radio access technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi and cellular) and allocates access to the radio access technologies for various access terminals. To provide improved service for access terminals that are a member of a group associated with the access point, the access point may give priority access to member access terminals as compared to non-member access terminals. For example, the access point may give member access terminals exclusive access to one radio access technology, while giving non-member access terminals access to another (e.g., shared) radio access technology. As another example, the access point may provide a higher level of service for member access terminals on at least one type of radio access technology, while providing a lower level of service for non-member access terminals on the at least one type of radio access technology.
