[0002] After WiFi mesh networking, only the master routing device can connect to the upstream network, while the sub-routing devices can only achieve Internet access through the master routing device. In the market, devices that support WiFi mesh function are often designated as master routing devices or sub-routing devices at the factory.

[0003] In other devices that support WiFi mesh, the master router is not pre-designated, but is designated during networking, and only the master router can still connect to the upstream network and access the Internet. If a user selects a weaker device as the master router, this can lead to a degraded Internet access experience.

[0004] On the other hand, when the master routing device in a WiFi mesh network accesses the Internet, users cannot freely change the routing device used to connect to the upstream network.

[0005] If a user wants to change the routing device used to access the Internet, they need to redo the WiFi mesh networking, which makes the operation of switching Internet access devices in WiFi mesh very complicated and greatly reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0016] In order to clarify the objectives, technical aspects and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details are presented in the embodiments of the present invention to allow the embodiments of the present application to be better understood. However, the technical aspects claimed in the embodiments of the present application can be realized without these technical details and various modifications and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0017] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for Internet access by a routing device in a WiFi mesh, which is applied to a sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh.

[0018] In this embodiment, after detecting that the sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh has accessed the network, the sub-routing device sends a network connection success message to the master routing device in the WiFi mesh to trigger the master routing device to switch the default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device, and then switches the default route to the wide area network WAN port of the sub-routing device, and further sends the received data to the upstream network through the WAN port of the sub-routing device, where the received data includes the data sent by the master routing device through the bridge.

[0019] The following is a detailed description of the implementation of the Internet access method by the routing device in WiFi mesh in this embodiment, but the following content is merely for the purpose of making the implementation of this embodiment easier to understand, and is not essential for carrying out this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the specific flow can include the following steps 101 to 103.

[0020] In step 101, after detecting that the sub-routing device has accessed the network, it sends a network connection success message to the master routing device in the WiFi mesh to trigger the master routing device to switch the default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device, where the bridge is a channel for data transmission between the master routing device and the sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh.

[0021] The master routing device and sub-routing device perform different functions in WiFi mesh and are usually configured differently at the factory. Generally, the default route of the master routing device is its wide area network WAN port, and the default route of the sub-routing device is the bridge that connects to the master routing device.

[0022] In this step, after detecting that the sub-routing device has accessed the network, the sub-routing device sends a network connection success message to the master routing device. After the master routing device knows that the sub-routing device has accessed the Internet, the master routing device switches the default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device, so that the data received by the master routing device can be sent to the sub-routing device through the bridge and further uploaded to the Internet by the sub-routing device.

[0023] In one example, sending a network access success message to a master routing device in the WiFi mesh after detecting that the sub-routing device has accessed a network may include sending a network access success message to a master routing device in the WiFi mesh after detecting that the sub-routing device has accessed a wireless network, or after detecting that a network cable is connected to a WAN port of the sub-routing device and obtaining an IP address. The detection of a network cable being connected to a WAN port and obtaining an IP address referred to in this example indicates that the sub-routing device has accessed a wired network.

[0024] That is, in this example, the sub-routing device can detect whether it has accessed the network in two ways: The acquisition of the IP address mentioned in this example can be done through Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPOE) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

[0025] In step 102, the default route is switched to the wide area network WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0026] In this step, the sub-routing device switches the default route from the bridge from the sub-routing device to the master routing device to the WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0027] It should be noted that the switching of the default route of the routing device mentioned in the above two steps can be realized by setting an advanced routing module in the routing device, which may specifically be a small chip or the like that is incorporated in the routing device and can realize functions such as switching of the route.

[0028] In step 103, the received data is sent to the upstream network via the WAN port of the sub-routing device. The received data includes data sent by the master routing device via the bridge.

[0029] The data sent by the master routing device to the sub-routing device through the bridge in this step can include the data of the user equipment received by other sub-routing devices attached to the master routing device and the data of the user equipment attached to the master routing device. Through this step, the data received by all the routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet through the WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0030] In one example, a routing device for connecting to an upstream network in a WiFi mesh is switched to a master routing device, and this example further includes switching the default route to the bridge when a network connection success message sent from the master routing device is received after sending the received data to the upstream network through a WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0031] In this example, the master routing device sends a network access success message to the sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh after detecting that the master routing device has accessed the network, and the sub-routing device switches the default route from the wide area network WAN port to the bridge, so that the sub-routing device sends the received data to the master routing device through the bridge, and then the master routing device sends it to the upstream network.

[0032] In practical implementation, the master routing device and the sub-routing device can simultaneously detect whether they have accessed the network, and can also switch the default route after exchanging information, so that when the Internet access device is changed, it can automatically determine the Internet access device and adjust the link for uploading data without the need for manual operation by the user, and can realize the simple and dynamic switching of the Internet access device.

[0033] In addition, when a user accesses the Internet using the same password and other information, the user does not notice the change in Internet access device. If the performance of multiple WiFi mesh routing devices is equivalent, the Internet access method using WiFi mesh routing devices provided in this embodiment allows the user to easily select any device as the device to access the upstream network.

[0034] In this embodiment, after detecting that the sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh has accessed the network, the sub-routing device will send a network connection success message to the master routing device in the WiFi mesh, triggering the master routing device to switch the default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device. The sub-routing device will switch the default route to the wide area network WAN port, and further send the received data to the upstream network through the WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0035] Here, the received data includes data sent by the master routing device through the bridge. Thus, data received by all routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet through the WAN port of the sub-routing device. After switching of the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh, the upstream data transmission link can be quickly opened. That is, the switching of the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh is easily realized, and the normal progress of the uploading operation is ensured. The user experience can be effectively improved.

[0036] Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for Internet access by a routing device in a WiFi mesh, which is applied to a master routing device in the WiFi mesh.

[0037] In this embodiment, the WiFi mesh master routing device receives a network connection success message sent from the WiFi mesh sub-routing device, switches the default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device, and sends the received data to the sub-routing device via the bridge.

[0038] The following is a detailed description of the implementation of the Internet access method by the routing device in WiFi mesh in this embodiment, but the following content is merely for the purpose of making the implementation of this embodiment easier to understand, and is not essential for carrying out this embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the specific flow can include the following steps 201 to 203.

[0039] In step 201, a network connection success message sent from a sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh is received.

[0040] In this step, the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh is the sub-routing device. After the sub-routing device accesses the upstream network, the master routing device receives a network connection success message sent by the sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh.

[0041] In step 202, the default route is switched to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device.

[0042] In this step, since the master routing device is no longer an Internet access device in the WiFi mesh, the master routing device switches the default route from the master routing device's WAN port to the bridge leading to the sub-routing device, allowing the master routing device to transmit upstream data through the bridge.

[0043] In step 203, the received data is sent to the sub-routing device via the bridge.

[0044] In this step, the master routing device sends the received data to the sub-routing device through the bridge, where the data received by the master routing device includes the data of the user equipment received by other sub-routing devices under the master routing device and the data of the user equipment under the master routing device, so that the data received by all the routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet through the sub-routing device.

[0045] In one example, the routing device for connecting to the upstream network in the WiFi mesh is switched from the sub-routing device to the master routing device, in this example, after the master routing device detects that the master routing device has accessed the network, it sends a network connection success message to the sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh to trigger the sub-routing device to switch the default route to the bridge, switch the default route to the wide area network WAN port of the master routing device, and send the received data to the upstream network through the WAN port of the master routing device.

[0046] In this example, the data received by all the routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet through the WAN port of the master routing device. After the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh switches to the master routing device, the upstream data transmission link can be quickly released.

[0047] In this embodiment, after the master routing device in the WiFi mesh receives a network connection success message sent from the sub-routing device, it switches the default route to the bridge connected to this sub-routing device.

[0048] In this way, after the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh is switched to the sub-routing device, the data received by the master routing device can be sent to the sub-routing device via this bridge and further uploaded. The master routing device sends the received data to the sub-routing device via the bridge, so that the data received by all routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet via the sub-routing device.

[0049] After switching of Internet access devices in WiFi mesh, the upstream data transmission link can be quickly released, that is, the switching of Internet access devices in WiFi mesh can be easily realized, and the upload operation can be ensured to proceed normally, effectively improving the user experience.

[0050] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a sub-routing device, which includes an interaction module 301, a route switching module 302 and a data transmission module 303, as shown in FIG.

[0051] The interaction module 301 is configured to send a network connection success message to a master routing device in the WiFi mesh after detecting that the sub-routing device has accessed the network, to trigger the master routing device to switch the default route to a bridge leading to the master routing device.

[0052] The route switching module 302 is configured to switch a default route to a wide area network WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0053] The data transmission module 303 is configured to transmit received data to an upstream network via a WAN port of the sub-routing device, where the received data includes data transmitted by the master routing device via the bridge.

[0054] In one example, the interaction module 301 may be further configured to send a network connection success message to a master routing device in the WiFi mesh after detecting that the sub-routing device has accessed a wireless network or after detecting that a network cable is connected to the WAN port of the sub-routing device and has obtained an IP address.

[0055] In one example, the sub-routing device may further include an IP address acquisition module (not shown) configured to acquire an IP address through a Point-to-Point Communication Protocol over Ethernet (PPPOE) or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

[0056] The route switching module 302 may be further configured to switch the default route to the bridge when receiving a network connection success message sent from the master routing device after sending the received data to an upstream network via a WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0057] After detecting that the sub-routing device provided in this embodiment has accessed the network, it will send a network connection success message to the master routing device in the WiFi mesh to trigger the master routing device to switch the default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device. The sub-routing device will switch the default route to the wide area network WAN port, and then send the received data to the upstream network through the WAN port of the sub-routing device.

[0058] Here, the received data includes the data that the master routing device sent through the bridge.

[0059] In this way, data received by all routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet through the WAN port of the sub-routing device. After switching of Internet access devices in the WiFi mesh, the upstream data transmission link can be quickly released. That is, the switching of Internet access devices in the WiFi mesh is realized easily, and the upload operation can be ensured to proceed normally. The user experience can be effectively improved.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a master routing device, which includes an interaction module 401, a route switching module 402 and a data transmission module 403, as shown in FIG.

[0061] The interaction module 401 is configured to receive a network connection success message sent from a sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh.

[0062] The route switching module 402 is configured to switch the default route to a bridge leading to the sub-routing device.

[0063] The data transmission module 403 is configured to transmit the received data to the sub-routing equipment via the bridge.

[0064] In one example, the interaction module 401 may be further configured to send a network connection success message to a sub-routing device in the WiFi mesh after detecting that the master routing device has accessed the network, to trigger the sub-routing device to switch a default route to the bridge. In this example, the route switching module 402 may be further configured to switch a default route to a wide area network WAN port of the master routing device. The data transmission module 403 may be further configured to send the received data to an upstream network through the WAN port of the master routing device.

[0065] In this embodiment, the master routing device provides a default route to the bridge connected to the sub-routing device after receiving the network connection success message sent by the sub-routing device, so that after the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh is switched to the sub-routing device, the data received by the master routing device can be sent to the sub-routing device through the bridge for further uploading.

[0066] The master routing device transmits the received data to the sub-routing device via the bridge, so that the data received by all the routing devices in the WiFi mesh can be uploaded to the Internet via the sub-routing device. After switching the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh, the upstream data transmission link can be quickly released. That is, the switching of the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh is realized easily, and the upload operation can be ensured to proceed normally. The user experience can be effectively improved.

[0067] In addition, each module mentioned in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention is a logical module, and in actual applications, one logical unit may be one physical unit, may be part of one physical unit, or may be realized by a combination of multiple physical units.

[0068] In addition, in order to highlight the innovative parts of the embodiments of the present invention, elements that are not particularly related to solving the technical problem presented in the embodiments of the present invention are not introduced into the present embodiments, but this does not mean that there are no other elements in the present embodiments.

[0069] Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a routing device management system including at least one sub-routing device described in the above-mentioned embodiments and a master routing device described in the above-mentioned embodiments, wherein the sub-routing device and the master routing device are connected.

[0070] In one example, the route switching module of the master routing device may be further configured to: switch a default route to a wide area network WAN port of the master routing device when a target routing device in a device switching command is the master routing device, or switch a default route to a bridge leading to the target routing device in the device switching command when a target routing device in the device switching command is not the master routing device, where the device switching command is generated according to a device performance detection result.

[0071] The performance detection result referred to herein may specifically include parameters such as delay of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code of the routing device, a time to live (TTL) value, etc. In WiFi mesh, when a routing device accessing the Internet accesses a wireless network, the performance detection result may further include a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI).

[0072] In this example, based on the device detection results, it is determined whether or not it is necessary to switch the routing device accessing the Internet and to which routing device to switch, and further, the routing device accessing the Internet can be switched. This makes it possible to easily switch the routing device accessing the Internet in the WiFi mesh to the routing device with the optimal performance.

[0073] By comparing the performance detection results, it may be determined that the master routing device is the Internet access device with the best performance in the WiFi mesh. In this case, the master routing device can switch the default route from the bridge connected to a certain sub-routing device to the WAN port, and further send a device switching command to the sub-routing device currently accessing the Internet to trigger it to switch the default route to the bridge connected to the master routing device.

[0074] In another case, the master routing device compares the performance detection result reported by the routing device currently accessing the Internet or the performance detection result of the master routing device with the performance detection result of the routing device that accessed the Internet in the past, and if the current Internet access device is inferior in performance to a certain past Internet access device, switches the Internet access routing device to the past Internet access device as the target routing device. The master routing device switches the default route from the WAN port or the bridge connected to the sub-routing device currently accessing the Internet to the bridge connected to the target routing device.

[0075] In this embodiment, all of the multiple routing devices in the WiFi mesh can access the Internet, and a device switching command can be generated based on the device performance detection result, and the switching of the Internet access device in the WiFi mesh can be triggered, so that the Internet access device can be easily switched to the routing device with the best performance without manually switching the Internet access device, and the Internet access experience of the user can be effectively improved.
