Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the configuration of a device with service set information based upon an identification of a device-type associated with the device. A device-type identifier may be retrieved from a communication that is received from a device requesting a service from an access point. The device-type identifier may be compared to one or more correlations between device-types and service sets that are maintained within a database, and the device may be configured with information for a service set that is correlated with the retrieved device-type identifier, or the device may be configured with information for a default service set. Certain service sets offered by an access point may remain inactive when not in use, and if a device is configured with information for an inactive service set, the access point may automatically enable the service set.
