[0096] As another optional embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , a flowchart of a networking method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present application, the present embodiment mainly provides a detailed scheme of the networking method described in Embodiment 1, as shown in the figure, the method can include but is not limited to the following steps: Figure 3

[0097] Step S21, each relay node respectively determines whether the uplink wired port thereof is connected with the external network, and determines one of the plurality of relay nodes whose uplink wired port is connected with the external network as the root node.

[0098] In the present embodiment, each relay node can be configured with an uplink wired port, and only one of the plurality of relay nodes is configured with an uplink wired port connected with the external network. Under this configuration, each relay node can respectively determine whether the uplink wired port thereof is connected with the external network, and determine one of the plurality of relay nodes whose uplink wired port is connected with the external network as the root node.

[0099] Step S22, the root node starts at least one first wireless mesh network hotspot, and broadcasts path information.

[0100] Step S23, in the case that the child node scans at least one wireless mesh network hotspot, one of the relay nodes corresponding to the at least one wireless mesh network hotspot is selected as a parent node, and connection is established with the parent node.

[0102] In step S24, the sub-node updates the path information, starts at least one second wireless mesh network hotspot, and broadcasts the updated path information.

[0103] The detailed process of steps S22-S24 can refer to the related description of steps S12-S14 in Embodiment 1, and will not be described here again.

[0104] In this embodiment, each relay node determines a relay node having an uplink wired port connected to an external network as a root node in the plurality of relay nodes by determining whether the uplink wired port of the relay node is connected to the external network. In the case that at least one wireless mesh network hotspot is scanned, a sub-node selects one of the relay nodes corresponding to the at least one wireless mesh network hotspot as a parent node, establishes a connection with the parent node, ensures that each sub-node has only one parent node, and that there is only one root node in the routing path where each sub-node is located. The data of each sub-node is transmitted in a one-to-one manner through the parent node, which can reduce the network burden and improve the transmission rate.

[0105] In addition, on the basis of reducing the network burden, a plurality of relay nodes can be included in a routing path to complete a plurality of relays. Specifically, an upper limit of the number of relay nodes in a routing path and an upper limit of the number of relays can be configured, and in the networking process, the relay nodes determine to join the routing path without reaching the upper limit of the number of relay nodes and the upper limit of the number of relays.

[0108] ​In the embodiment, each relay node can be configured with two network cards, and the two network cards support different wireless frequency bands. The two network cards can each start a WDS STA (Wireless Distribution System Station) and a WDS AP (Wireless Distribution System access point). The WDS STA of the network card is responsible for connecting the WDS AP of the upper node, and the WDS AP of the network card is responsible for connecting the WDS STA of the lower node.

[0109] The two network cards can be, but are not limited to, 2.4G network cards and 5G network cards.

[0110] The detailed process of step S31 can refer to the related description of step S11 in Embodiment 1, and will not be described here again.

[0111] In step S32, the root node starts a first wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to a first wireless frequency band and a first wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to a second wireless frequency band, and broadcasts first path information corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and second path information corresponding to the second wireless frequency band.

[0112] In the embodiment, the first path information corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and the second path information corresponding to the second wireless frequency band are different.

[0113] The first wireless frequency band can be a 2.4G wireless frequency band, and the second wireless frequency band can be a 5G wireless frequency band.

[0116] In step S33, the child node selects one of the relay nodes corresponding to at least one wireless mesh network hotspot as a parent node and establishes a connection with the parent node when scanning the at least one wireless mesh network hotspot.

[0117] In the embodiment, the child node is a relay node other than the root node in the plurality of relay nodes, and the wireless mesh network hotspot includes a first wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to a first wireless frequency band, a first wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to a second wireless frequency band, a second wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to the first wireless frequency band, or a second wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to the second wireless frequency band. The second wireless mesh network hotspot is a wireless mesh network hotspot started by a child node with a parent node.

[0118] In the case that the child node scans a plurality of first wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and a plurality of second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the second wireless frequency band, the child node can select a first wireless mesh network hotspot with the optimal network connection state from the plurality of first wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and the plurality of second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the second wireless frequency band, and take the relay node corresponding to the first wireless mesh network hotspot with the optimal network connection state as the parent node.

[0119] In the case that the child node scans a plurality of first wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and a plurality of second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the second wireless frequency band, the child node can select a second wireless mesh network hotspot with the optimal network connection state from the plurality of first wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and the plurality of second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the second wireless frequency band, and take the relay node corresponding to the second wireless mesh network hotspot with the optimal network connection state as the parent node.

[0123] In the case that the child node takes the relay node corresponding to the first wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to the second wireless frequency band or the second wireless mesh network hotspot corresponding to the second wireless frequency band as the parent node, the child node can update the second path information.

[0124] After the child node starts the second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and the second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the second wireless frequency band, the child node needs to broadcast the updated first path information and the second path information, so that other relay nodes can obtain the updated first path information and the second path information in the case that the other relay nodes scan the second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the first wireless frequency band and the second wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to the second wireless frequency band.

[0127] Further, the root node and the child node can start wireless mesh network hotspots corresponding to different wireless frequency bands, so that the relay node can be connected to the relay node corresponding to the wireless mesh network hotspot with the optimal network connection state, and transmission rate is improved.

[0147] In step S55, the sub-node determines whether the sub-node is a parent node of other sub-nodes when detecting that the parent node has a fault.

[0148] In the embodiment, the sub-node can detect whether the parent node has a fault. Specifically, detecting whether the parent node has a fault can include: detecting whether the network connection state of the parent node meets the requirements; or sending a detection data packet to the parent node and detecting whether information fed back by the parent node is received.
