==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A COMPUTER NETWORK INTERMEDIATE ROUTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040659 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A COMPUTER NETWORK INTERMEDIATE ROUTER

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a network router that provides internet connectivity to an intermediate router, which then provides connectivity to multiple devices. During the migration to a new router, the intermediate router receives an indication that the first wireless router is no longer functioning. However, the intermediate router maintains the network connections from the devices in a way that is unaffected by the first router being down, except for a temporary interruption in internet service for the devices. The intermediate router then connects to a second wireless router to replace the first one, providing internet connectivity to the devices without requiring reconnection or reconfiguration.

* The patent application describes a network router that seamlessly switches to a new router without interrupting internet connectivity for connected devices.
* The intermediate router receives an indication that the first wireless router is out of service or no longer exists.
* Despite the first router being down, the intermediate router maintains network connections from the devices without requiring reconnection or reconfiguration.
* The intermediate router connects to a second wireless router to replace the first one.
* Internet connectivity is provided to the devices connected to the intermediate router via the new second wireless router without any need for reconnection or reconfiguration.

== Potential Applications ==
* Home networks: This technology can be used in home networks to ensure uninterrupted internet connectivity during router upgrades or replacements.
* Office networks: It can be applied in office networks to minimize downtime and disruptions when migrating to new routers.
* Internet service providers: ISPs can utilize this technology to improve customer experience during router upgrades or maintenance.

== Problems Solved ==
* Interruption of internet service during router migration: This technology solves the problem of devices losing internet connectivity when switching to a new router.
* Reconfiguration of devices: It eliminates the need for reconfiguring or reconnecting devices to obtain internet connectivity after a router replacement.

== Benefits ==
* Seamless migration: The technology allows for a smooth transition to a new router without interrupting internet connectivity for connected devices.
* Time and cost savings: It reduces the time and effort required for reconfiguring or reconnecting devices after a router replacement.
* Improved user experience: Users do not experience prolonged internet service interruptions or the need to manually reconfigure their devices.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a network router provides internet connectivity to an intermediate router (e.g., implemented on a computer, smartphone or other device), which in turn provides internet connectivity to a plurality of devices (e.g., iot devices). during migration to a new router, the intermediate router may receive an indication that the first wireless router is out of service or no longer exists. despite that the first wireless router is out of service or no longer exists, the intermediate router keeps each network connection from a plurality of devices to the intermediate router in a manner that is unaffected by the first wireless router being down or no longer existing (other than the plurality of devices experiencing a temporary internet service interruption). the intermediate router then connects to a second wireless router to replace the first wireless router that is out of service or no longer exists. the intermediate router provides, via the connection to the new second wireless router, internet connectivity to the plurality of devices connected to the intermediate router without reconnection, reactivation or reconfiguration of the plurality of devices to obtain the internet connectivity.
