Zusammenfassung:	Methods, systems, and devices for facilitating the automated configuration of one or more new 802.11 access points (APs) are disclosed herein. A cloud server may receive a message associated with a customer account for one or more new APs. The cloud server may associate a first AP of the one or more new APs based on the message. The cloud server may then retrieve a public key associated with the first AP which has a reciprocal private key. The cloud server may send the public key to a gateway (GW) associated with the customer account. The GW may encrypt the GW credentials, such as a password and SSID, into a ciphertext using the public key and then broadcast this information. When the first AP has been powered on it may decrypt the ciphertext using the private key and use the credentials to act as a node in the GW's network.
