Onboarding multiple access point (Multi-AP) device using device provisioning protocol (DPP)

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for onboarding one or more Multi-AP devices using a device provisioning protocol (DPP) and a Multi-AP communication protocol. In one aspect, a first Multi-AP device may determine, during an onboarding process, DPP configuration information that was derived using the DPP. The first Multi-AP device may establish a Multi-AP network configuration between the first Multi-AP device and a second Multi-AP device using the Multi-AP communication protocol based, at least in part, on the DPP configuration information. In one aspect, the DPP configuration information may be derived remotely by the network operator prior to device deployment. In one aspect, a configurator station (STA) may be delegated as the DPP configurator by the network operator, and may onboard one or more STAs into the Multi-AP network using the DPP and the Multi-AP communication protocol.
