PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mitigate the conventional problem in which a long interruption of service occurs, resulting in degraded quality of experience.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless network communications, and more particularly to a channel switching method, device, and system. The method comprises: a step in which a mobile terminal sends a channel switching command to a first access point, so that the first access point parses the channel switching command and sends the parsed channel switching command to a second access point and the second access point performs channel switching according to the parsed channel switching command; and a step in which the mobile terminal receives a feedback message from the first access point, and when the feedback message indicates that channel switching preparation of the second access point is ready, the mobile terminal breaks a connection to the first access point and sets up a connection to the second access point to complete the channel switching.
