Particularly, an embodiment of the invention provides for operating a wireless network access point providing an access to a network over a wireless connection, the access point being protected for limiting the access to the network to entitled users. A request to access the network is received from a mobile station. An entitlement of the mobile station to access the network through the access point is verified. An affiliation of the mobile station to an affiliation group of the access point is verified when the mobile station is not entitled, the affiliation group comprising a plurality of access points and a plurality of mobile stations. The access to the network is granted when the mobile station is affiliated, and the access to the network is denied when the mobile station is not affiliated.
