Techniques for identifying a primary gateway and generating a logical network using credentials of the primary gateway are provided. For example, a method, computing device, or computer-program product may include transmitting a query, wherein the query includes a request for identifying a primary gateway in a local area network, and receiving a response to the query, wherein the response includes an identifier associated with the primary gateway. Further, the method, computing device, or computer-program product may include transmitting credentials of the primary gateway, wherein the credentials are used to associate the computing device with a logical network in the local area network, and receiving a network identifier, wherein the network identifier is associated with the logical network in the local area network.
