The invention discloses an access point energy saving method and an access point and relates to the technical field of communication. AP (Access Point) energy saving can be effectively realized. The method comprises the step that when it is determined that the AP is not correlated with any terminal and no to-be-correlated terminal exists in a preset time period, the AP switches off an expansion radio frequency circuit, wherein a working band of the expansion radio frequency circuit is a wireless local area network WLAN band except 2.4GHz. 种接入点节能的方法及接入点，涉及通信技术领域，有效地实现AP节能。该方法包括：确定在预设时段内AP未关联任何终端、且不存在待关联终端时，AP关闭所述扩展射频电路；扩展射频电路的工作频段为2.4GHz频段以外的无线局域网WLAN频段。
