    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 fixed wireless access network provides for high-frequency data links between aggregation nodes and endpoint nodes. The system further provides for lower frequency wireless data links, which have carrier frequencies less than high-frequency wireless data links. These lower frequency links provide for auxiliary communications between the aggregation nodes and one or more endpoint nodes. During normal operation, the nodes exchange packet data via the high-frequency data links. However, when impairment of the high-frequency data links is detected, the nodes direct the packet data over the low-frequency data links instead until the high-frequency data links are no longer impaired.
