Access method and access device of wireless network

Abstract

The invention discloses an access method of a wireless network. The access method is applied on a wireless access end and comprises the following steps: saving MAC (multi-access computer) address at a special client side without cryptographic authentication into a MAC address table in advance; receiving authentication request messages carrying client-side MAC address information sent by the client side; and permitting the client side to access the wireless network in non-authenticated and non-encrypted mode if the MAC address at the client side is the MAC address in the MAC address table. With the adoption of the wireless network access method, the client side which is inconvenient to input passwords can be automatically recognized, and the client side can conveniently access the wireless network. The invention also provides an access device of the wireless network.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a method and device for accessing a wireless network. Background technique [0002] Such as figure 1 As shown, with the popularization of smart home networks, many traditional home appliances in people's homes gradually have wireless connection functions, such as TVs with WiFi functions, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. In addition, there are traditional clients (Station, STA for short) in the wireless network, such as a desktop computer, a notebook, or a smart phone. [0003] The client connects to a wireless access point (Access Point, AP for short) through WiFi, and the traditional access and communication process uses authentication and encryption to ensure the legitimacy of the STA and the confidentiality of wireless communication with the AP. Commonly used authentication and encryption methods include WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-shared ke...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Traditional STAs are usually devices with complex control interfaces such as desktops, notebooks, or smart phones, while smart home appliances mainly passively receive control commands or simply feedback setting results, so their input control functions are relatively weak, not Easy to carry out password input operation

Although the operation of entering the network connection through WPS can avoid the operation of entering the key, the WPS method requires both the wireless access terminal and the client to have the WPS function, and the operation is complicated. Press the WPS key at the same time

Moreover, in order to ensure the encryption performance of WPS, the interaction process of authentication and encryption is relatively cumbersome. If the channel condition between the wireless access terminal and the client is relatively poor, it is easy to cause access failure.
