Abstract: Embodiments are directed to network redundancy using alternate network uplinks. An embodiment of a wireless access point includes one or more processors; a wireless transmitter and receiver; and a connection for a network uplink, the wireless access point to: transmit a request to multiple devices connected to the wireless access point regarding redundant network links; identify one or more devices that include redundant network links and are capable and willing to provide alternate network uplinks, including a first device including a first redundant network link; provide a network operation for one or more devices using the network uplink; upon detecting a loss of the network uplink, transmit a request to at least the first device to enable a first alternate network uplink using the first redundant network link; and transmit and receive data for the network operation through the first device for the first alternate network uplink.
