1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless access point and from a server, first network credentials for a first wireless network hosted by a wireless-enabled device;
establishing, by the wireless access point, a first network connection between the wireless access point and the wireless-enabled device in the first wireless network based on the first network credentials, by;
sending a connection request to the wireless-enabled device; and
receiving an authorization message in response to the connection request, the authorization message comprising parameters for the first network connection with the wireless-enabled device;
providing, by the wireless access point, second network credentials for a second wireless network to the wireless-enabled device via the first network connection; and
establishing, by the wireless access point, a second network connection between the wireless access point and the wireless-enabled device in the second wireless network based on the second network credentials, by;
receiving a connection request from the wireless-enabled device; and
sending an authorization message to the wireless-enabled device in response to the connection request, the authorization message comprising parameters for the second network connection with the wireless-enabled device.

Abstract
A system and machine-implemented method of wireless network access are provided. First network credentials for a first wireless network hosted by a wireless-enabled device are received from a server. A first network connection with the wireless-enabled device in the first wireless network is established based on the first network credentials. Second network credentials for a second wireless network are provided to the wireless-enabled device via the first network connection. A second network connection with the wireless-enabled device in the second wireless network is established based on the second network credentials.
