More Information
Summary:This application discloses a method for automatically accessing a wireless local area network (WLAN) by an Internet of Things (IoT) device, and an apparatus, so that the IoT device can automatically access the WLAN. This reduces operation workload of network operation personnel, and reduces enterprise costs. The method in embodiments of this application includes: sending, by a network device to the IoT device, a first packet carrying a first SSID and first indication information that indicates the IoT device to access a first WLAN identified by the first SSID; parsing, by the IoT device, the first packet to obtain the first indication information; and sending, based on the first indication information, a first access request to request to access the first WLAN identified by the first SSID.
