Home networking method and home networking AP

Abstract

The invention discloses a home networking method and a home networking AP, and relates to the technical field of wireless routers and networking, and the method comprises the steps: connecting a plurality of APs storing master tags or slave tags with an uplink gateway in a wired manner to form an AP subnet; and enabling each AP to periodically broadcast the first message or the second message in the AP subnet, sending the first message by the AP with the master tag, and the second message is sent by the AP with the slave tag; enabling each AP to receive the first message or the second messageand performs main AP election, setting the selected AP as a main AP working mode, wherein the AP in the main AP working mode is the main AP, and the AP in the slave AP working mode is the slave AP; and enabling each AP in the AP subnet to generate a local AP registry and perform wireless configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless routers and networking, in particular to a home networking method and a home networking AP. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of broadband access and FTTH, it has become very popular for ordinary users to use home broadband to access the Internet. At the same time, smart terminal devices are also developing rapidly, and devices such as smart homes and handheld terminals need to be accessed through WIFI. WIFI Internet access in the family has become the daily basic needs of ordinary users. [0003] In the process of FTTH construction, operators mainly solved the problem of how to access broadband to households. However, after FTTH broadband access to households, there are generally the following problems: [0004] 1. The broadband home access uplink gateway device provided by the operator, many uplink gateway devices do not provide WIFI or their WIFI coverage cannot meet t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 2. The current uplink gateway + AP network management method, in which the uplink gateway is used as the AC, especially in home network applications, still has many limitations

One is that the uplink gateway + AP as an overall solution requires a complete set of bundling and application, which is not flexible enough; second, most uplink gateways do not support the AC function, so it is necessary to implement networking between routers in the home network

[0006] 3. At present, the networking scheme between home wireless routers is wireless networking between routers, designated main AP + sub-AP networking, and the uplink gateway is connected to the designated main AP through wired or wireless

This method cannot solve the problem of retransmission and large delay when the number of wireless transmission hops is large when the slave wireless routers are scattered and there are many master-slave logical cascades.
