Abstract

Access between a data terminal 1 and a data network 5 by way of a first wireless-enabled access point 3 is restored after a primary connection 4 between the first access point and the data network is lost by having the access point 3 scan for a further wireless-enabled access point 6 and establishing a wireless connection between the first access point 3 and the further access point 6 such that the data terminals 1 etc can connect to the data network by way of the access points 3, 6 and the wireless connection between them.
