[0066] S31. For each second target performance parameter in the multiple second target performance parameters, sum the multiple second performance parameters contained in each second target performance parameter and the multiple third performance parameters to obtain a second performance parameter sum corresponding to the second target performance parameter, and then obtain multiple second performance parameter sums corresponding to the multiple second target performance parameters.

[0067] In some embodiments, different second preset antenna directions correspond to different second target performance parameters.

[0072] In some embodiments, after adjusting the antenna direction of the second antenna based on the plurality of second target performance parameters, the method further includes steps S41-S42:

[0073] S41: Detect first location information of at least one first client among a plurality of first clients, and / or second location information of at least one second client among a plurality of second clients.

[0074] S42: If the first position information and / or the second position information changes, readjust the antenna direction of the first antenna and / or the antenna direction of the second antenna.

[0075] If the first position information and / or the second position information changes, it will affect the signal connection between the network device and at least one of the multiple first clients or at least one of the multiple second clients, thereby causing the antenna direction corresponding to the current first antenna or second antenna to not be the optimal antenna direction. Therefore, when the first position information and / or the second position information changes, it is necessary to readjust the antenna direction of the first antenna and / or the antenna direction of the second antenna.

[0080] In some embodiments, the preset condition may be preset environmental data. If the environmental data is different from the preset environmental data, or the environmental data is not within the range of the preset environmental data, the environmental data is deemed to not meet the preset condition. When the environmental data does not meet the preset condition, it indicates that the environment in which the network device is located has changed, and the antenna direction of the first antenna and / or the antenna direction of the second antenna of the network device needs to be readjusted.

[0081] Specifically, taking the environmental data including magnetic field strength as an example, if it is detected that the magnetic field strength of the network device has changed, the antenna direction of the first antenna and / or the antenna direction of the second antenna is adjusted again, for example, returning to execute the aforementioned steps S101-S104.

[0084] S51. When at least one of the multiple third performance parameters does not include a data transmission rate, obtain a current power of the relay device, and determine a sum of the multiple third performance parameters based on the current power.

[0085] Specifically, when at least one of the multiple third performance parameters does not include the data transmission rate, the network connection device cannot obtain from the relay device the data transmission rate of data communication between at least one of the multiple first clients corresponding to the aforementioned at least one third performance parameter and the relay device. In order to ensure that the network device can quickly adjust the antenna direction of the second antenna, the current power of the relay device can be directly obtained to replace the sum of the data transmission rates of data communication between each of the multiple first clients and the relay device, wherein the sum of the data transmission rates of data communication between each of the multiple first clients and the relay device is the sum of the multiple third performance parameters.

[0086] In some embodiments, determining the sum of multiple third performance parameters based on the current power includes steps S511-S513:

[0087] S511. Determine a weight factor of the first antenna.

[0088] In some embodiments, the weight factor is pre-set by relevant personnel based on information such as the damage condition of the first antenna on the relay device and current environmental data.
