Abstract
A first router establishes an internet connection between a remote router management platform (RRMP) and the first router via a second router, the second router being part of a local area network. A router identifier of the first router is registered with a user account at the RRMP, the user account being associated with router configuration data for the local area network. The first router sends a request with the router identifier to the RRMP using the internet connection, a request for the router configuration data and receives the router configuration data from the RRMP via the internet connection responsive to the remote router management platform verifying that the first router is registered to the user account. At least a portion of the router configuration data, when executed by the first router, causes the first router to implement the local area network in tandem with the second router.
