METHOD FOR PAIRING WITH A GATEWAY

A gateway manages a first secure wireless local network and a second secure wireless local network. The gateway interconnects the second secure wireless local network and a wide-area network so that each device paired with the second secure wireless local network can access services offered by the wide-area network. The gateway detects an attempt at first pairing, with the first secure wireless local network, using first authentication data. The gateway checks with a provisioning server that the first pairing is performed by a device associated with the same user as the gateway, and checks that the first authentication data correspond to expected authentication data. In the case of a positive check, the gateway transmits, via the first secure wireless local network, second authentication data as well as a network identifier of the second secure wireless local network, with a view to pairing with the second secure wireless local network.
