    Abstract: A mobile application for facilitating configuration and installation of networking and extender devices in a local area network utilizes augmented reality to provide configuration guidance information and network information. For configuring the networking device, a camera of the mobile computing device captures an image depicting the networking device, which is displayed on a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device with graphical elements including icons and textual information overlaid on the image to indicate configuration guidance information. Similarly, for installing the extender device, the camera captures image data depicting areas of the premises where the device is being installed and graphical elements are overlaid on the image data indicating network information such as the position of a previously installed networking device as well as the signal strength of wireless signals from the networking device.

    Abstract: A mobile application for facilitating installation of the user nodes in a fixed wireless network utilizes augmented reality to provide location, usage, and recommendation information about nearby service nodes. A camera of the mobile computing device captures image data depicting the surrounding area, which is displayed on a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device with graphical elements including icons and textual information overlaid on the captured image data in different positions and with different visual characteristics based on geometric information for the mobile computing device and the surrounding area, the relative position of nearby service nodes with respect to the mobile computing device, and information about the service nodes such as typical usage and/or whether the service node is recommended or not. A virtual antenna is also overlaid on the image data, and an image depicting the virtual antenna as it would look once installed is generated and stored.
