Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enabling communications over a wide area network and a local area network, wherein one or more computing devices may communicate with a wireless router over the local area network, and wherein the one or more computing devices may obtain access to the wide area network if authorized. Authorization of the one or more computing devices can be dependent upon discovery of the one or more computing devices, as well as a device type of the one or more computing devices. Authorization may also involve discovering a service being run or requested by the one or more computing devices, and determining whether the type of service being run or requested by the one or more computing devices is authorized by the wide area network.
