Let us see in what types of network topology one wireless enabled RDK box can operate. We can see two use cases here,
In first case we will see a straight forward network where we will have an IP headend for TV channels, VOD,  etc.

• In the above picture, the data will be received by a RDK Broadband device which will be our entry point to the home network. This will act as a video gateway, an internet router as well as can be a home DVR also. The network connectivity from RDK broadband device to IP headend will be through a high speed network such as fiber optics, etc.
• From the RDK broadband device, all clients in a home network will receive internet and video data through the wireless network. The RDK broadband device will be the access point and video devices such as Raspberry Pi will act as wifi clients.

In second use case, we wanted to show how a legacy network can be extended to operate with wifi enable devices,
In the figure, we use a RDK Video gateway to receive data from Cable media and relay to a RDK broadband device through MoCA network. In this network topology,

RDK client devices will be able to access the QAM channel and DVR from the Video gateway and internet through the broadband device. Video and internet data will be received by the Broadband Device and sent to Wireless clients.
