Systems and methods for pre-configuring a media device or other information handling system so as to be authorized to gain access to one or more destination networks. Pre-configuring the device includes determining what admission requirements the destination network providers require for access and then generating and providing to the media device a network admission coupon that includes the required information. In some embodiments this may be accomplished by a service center, which removes the need for additional authentication steps to be performed by the media device or the destination network providers.
