METHOD FOR SELECTING FREQUENCY BANDS IN A NETWORK DEVICE FOR MULTIPLE HOME NETWORKS

摘要

A network-capable device is configured to: automatically detect the presence of MoCA network ( or other network, depending on the network protocol in the application environment), and configure itself for communication on that network at the appropriate communication frequencies. The network-capable device can be configured to create a new network (e.g., a new MoCA network ) if there is no network broadcast signal within a band. Preferably, the network-capable device requires little or no user intervention to configure itself for operation at network operating frequencies or to create a new network where none is detected.
