Example Embodiment

[0033] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0034] During the WPS connection process, when the AP opens the WPS connection, it starts timing, and does not perform the WPS connection within the timing time. After the timing time is reached, if it is detected that there are two or more STAs within the timing time ( Workstation) when the WPS connection is turned on, the WPS connection process will be terminated.

[0035] After the timing time is reached, if it is detected that only one STA has opened the WPS connection within the timing time, the STA is allowed to perform the WPS connection, that is, the WPS connection is completed with the STA.

[0036] Preferably, the AP also sends an alarm when terminating the current WPS connection process.

[0037] The timing time is a delay time preset on the AP, preferably greater than or equal to 30 seconds and less than or equal to 60 seconds.

[0038] During this time interval, the AP still replies to a probe respo...

Abstract

The invention discloses an access point (AP) and a method for securely connecting a wireless workstation (STA) with the AP, which can enable a user to conveniently and fast access a network by utilizing WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and can simultaneously ensure the security of the wireless network. The method comprises the following steps of: during the process of connecting the WPS, starting to timing when the AP turns on WPS connection; doing not carry out the WPS connection within the timing time; and after reaching the timing time, stopping the process of connecting the WPS if the condition that two or more STAs turn on the WPS connection within the timing time is detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless local area networks, in particular to an access point and a method for securely connecting a wireless workstation to the access point. Background technique [0002] At present, wireless local area network technology is widely used in home networks. Users connect computers to access points in home networks through wireless workstations, replacing traditional wired connections, which saves the trouble of wiring and is very convenient to use. Due to the openness of the wireless network, any access point can be connected to the cable network without encryption in the wireless network, which brings great security risks to users. However, setting an encryption method for the wireless network has brought a certain threshold to ordinary users who do not have wireless professional knowledge. In the traditional way, when creating a secure wireless network, users need to manually set the network name (SSID) and secu...
