Abstract

A method includes receiving a first message from a wireless device via a network. The method includes determining a device type of the wireless device. In response to determining that the device type satisfies a criterion, sending a second message granting the wireless device access to the network subject to a first restriction level and sending a network access request to a second device associated with an operator of the access point. The second message includes a first key to grant the wireless device access to the network subject to the first restriction level. The method includes receiving a response to the network access request from the second device. The method also includes determining, based on the response, based on the response, whether to grant the wireless device access to the network subject to a second restriction level, the second restriction level less restrictive than the first restriction level.
