The invention discloses a system and method supporting rapid access authentication. The system consists of an equipment terminal, an access point (AP), and an authentication server. The authentication server includes an interface, a processing unit, a user authentication list, an address authentication list and an IP address pool. According to the method utilizing the authentication server to realize rapid access authentication, when the equipment terminal handovers a control domain of the AP or log in again, the authentication server searches the address authentication lists of the equipment terminal; if an IP and an MAC address that are matched to the equipment terminal are found, the authentication is passed; otherwise, the user is required to input a user name and a password again; and then the authentication server searches the user authentication list; if a matched user name and a matched password are found, the authentication is passed; otherwise, the authentication fails; and the authentication server makes a request of re-inputting of the user name and the password. According to the invention, time for re-authentication of access is substantially shortened and the communication quality is improved. And a user is only required to input a user name and a password during first-time authentication and there is no need to carrying out repeated inputting for subsequent handover and re-logging in.
