Abstract
A method for informing a user about communication capability mismatch in a home network is provided. The method includes receiving first information indicative of wireless communication capabilities of an access point of the home network. Further, the method includes receiving second information indicative of wireless communication capabilities of a client device connected to the access point. The method additionally includes matching the wireless communication capabilities of the access point and the client device based on the first information and the second information. If the wireless communication capabilities of the access point and the client device do not match, the method further includes configuring the access point or the client device to cause an application executed on the client device to display mismatch information on the mismatch between the wireless communication capabilities of the access point and the client device.
