Abstract
Systems and methods for setting up an access point in a Wi-Fi system, subsequent to booting up, determining whether the access point is a gateway node with a connection to a modem/router or a Wi-Fi node without a connection to the modem/router; connecting to a cloud configuration service when the access point is a gateway node for obtaining configuration parameters of the Wi-Fi system; and connecting to a predefined Service Set Identifier (SSID) when the access point is a Wi-Fi node for obtaining the configuration parameters from the gateway node.
