Method and System for Providing Broadband Multimedia Services
First Claim
1. A wireless router access point for use with a mesh network employing a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint network employing a point-to-multipoint protocol, comprising:
- a mesh access point subsystem configured to translate between said point-to-multipoint protocol and said mesh protocol simultaneously to provide seamless connectivity from a user device of said point-to-multipoint network and another wireless router access point of said mesh network without being reconfigured; and
a point-to-multipoint access point subsystem configured to translate between said mesh protocol and said point-to-multipoint protocol simultaneously to provide seamless connectivity from said another wireless router access point of said mesh network and said user device of said point-to-multipoint network without being reconfigured.

Abstract
A wireless router access point for use with a mesh network employing a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint network employing a point-to-multipoint protocol, and a multimedia system employing the same. In one embodiment, the wireless router access point includes a mesh access point subsystem configured to translate between a point-to-multipoint protocol and a mesh protocol to communicate with the mesh network. The wireless router access point also includes a point-to-multipoint access point subsystem configured to translate between a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint protocol to communicate with a user of the point-to-multipoint network.
