Abstract
An interface device may provide a first wireless network and a second wireless network in a user's premise. The interface device may encourage some user devices to connect to the second wireless network without controlling the user devices. For example, the interface device may receive a request from a device to access its first wireless network. The interface device may then determine whether the device is a premise device by, for example, searching a database of device registration information. The interface device may determine that the device is a premise device and deny the request to access the first wireless network. The device may then be available to access the second wireless network.
