Configuring wireless devices for a wireless infrastructure network

Abstract

Systems and methods permit a wireless audio output device to receive a content streaming preference that identifies a remote digital media content source. A mobile computing device transmits, wireless via an ad hoc wireless communication link, credential data for an infrastructure wireless network to the wireless audio output device. The wireless audio output device may then connect to a wireless access point via the infrastructure wireless network and receive the content streaming preference from a host server via the infrastructure network. Digital media content may then be streamed from the remote digital media content source according to the content streaming preference.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a wireless access device configured to receive data wirelessly;   a content access point that communicates with the wireless device via an ad hoc wireless network;   a computer that is connectable to the content access point; and   a remote server in communication with the computer via a communications network,   wherein:
 the remote server hosts a website accessible by the computer; 
 the website permits a user of the wireless device to input via the computer credential data for at least one infrastructure wireless network; 
 the remote server stores the credential data for the at least one infrastructure wireless network; and 
 the content access point transmits the credential data for the at least one infrastructure wireless network to the wireless device via the ad hoc wireless network, such that, upon receipt of the credential data from the at least one infrastructure wireless network, the wireless device is configured to connect to the at least one infrastructure wireless network.
