The present invention is directed to a system and method for automated
network address cloning. A method for cloning a network address for
access of content by a router may include determining whether the router
may access a service provider. A network address of a network connection
device is obtained if the router is unable to access the service
provider, the network connection device included in a client information
handling system communicatively coupled to the router. The obtained
network address of the information handling system is cloned to a router
address automatically and without user intervention.
