Abstract
A method includes receiving, at an access point of a network, a first message from a wireless device. The method further includes determining a device type of the wireless device. In response to determining that the device type satisfies a criterion, the method includes sending, to the wireless device, a second message granting the wireless device access to the network subject to a first restriction level and sending a network access request to a second device associated with an operator of the access point. The method may further include receiving a response to the network access request from the second device and determining, based on the response, whether to grant the wireless device access to the network subject to a second restriction level.
