Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a connection with an access-point (AP) device via a first communication path. The method further includes establishing a connection with a proxy device for the AP device via a second communication path that is distinct from the first communication path. In addition, the method includes determining a set of connection credentials maintained by the AP device. Furthermore, the method includes determining a set of connection credentials maintained by the proxy device. Additionally, the method includes identifying a correct set of connection credentials. The correct set includes at least one of the first set and the second set. The method also includes synchronizing the first set and the second set according to the correct set.
