1. A method for differentiating an extended reality (XR) device from other devices when initiating communications with an Internet gateway, the method comprising:
receiving a probe request from the XR device, the probe request including an identifier indicating a device type of the XR device, wherein the identifier comprises a first identifier if the XR device is an augmented reality (AR) device, a second identifier if the XR device is a mixed reality (MR) device, or a third identifier if the XR device is a virtual reality (VR) device;
determining that the device type is supported by the Internet gateway;
communicating a probe response to the XR device indicating that the device type and network requirements of the XR device are supported by the Internet gateway; and
setting up a communication session between the XR device, the Internet gateway, and a network, the communication session having a first set of quality of service (QOS) parameters that meet a first set of network requirements if the identifier comprises the first identifier, a second set of QoS parameters that meet a second set of network requirements if the identifier comprises the second identifier, or a third set of QoS parameters that meet a third set of network requirements if the identifier comprises the third identifier.
