Abstract
A method by a WiFi AP for setting-up a WiFi connection with a wireless device, includes sending WiFi service credentials to a Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) AP for transmission through Li-Fi signaling that is broadcast for reception by wireless devices. The method receives and authenticates an authentication request that is received via a RF transceiver of the WiFi AP from the wireless device, which is responding to the WiFi service credentials that were broadcast through the Li-Fi signaling. The method then establishes a WiFi RF connection with the wireless device responsive to the authentication.
