Generally, when providing wireless network coverage for outdoor scenarios, Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) can be deployed in outdoor areas; while for indoor scenarios, routing devices can be used to provide wireless network coverage. If a scenario involves both indoor and outdoor areas, such as a coffee shop with an outdoor and indoor rest area, and both areas need to use the same Service Set Identifier (SSID), then both routing devices and CPEs are required to create a wireless network. Because these two different types of network devices cannot be configured simultaneously using a mesh networking approach, users need to connect to the wireless networks of each of these two different types of network devices separately to complete the network parameter settings for the corresponding devices.
[0148] For example, Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the setup process for an existing wireless network is shown. See also... Figure 1 As shown, this scenario includes a routing device 11 and a CPE 12. The routing device 11 can provide wireless network 1, and the CPE can provide wireless network 2. Users can configure the wireless network through user equipment 13. This configuration process can be described as follows:
[0149] Step 1: Users can access the wireless network 1 of the router device 11 through user device 13, and configure the wireless network of the router device 11, such as setting the SSID and access password of the wireless network, and the management information of the router device 11 is stored in user device 13.
[0150] Step 2: The user searches for the wireless network 2 provided by CPE12 again through user equipment 13, and then controls user equipment 13 to access the wireless network 2.
[0151] Step 3: After the user equipment 13 connects to the wireless network 2, it can configure the wireless network 2, set it to the same SSID and access password as the router, and store the management information of CPE12 in the user equipment 13.
[0152] Therefore, when building a wireless network using CPE and routing devices, users need to perform multiple steps, such as access → setup → re-access → re-setup, to complete the wireless network setup. This increases the difficulty of setting up a wireless network, reduces its efficiency, and affects the user experience.
[0153] Example 1:
[0154] To address the issues of complex operation steps and low networking efficiency in existing wireless networking technologies when building wireless networks using two different types of network devices—CPEs and routing devices—this application provides a network configuration method. This method allows users to configure network devices without pre-defined network parameters within a single network device interface, thereby reducing user steps and improving network configuration efficiency. Specifically, the network configuration method provided in this application is applied to a wireless network system. For example, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a wireless network system according to an embodiment of this application is shown. See also Figure 2 As shown, the wireless network system includes CPE 21, routing device 22, and user equipment 23. CPE 21 and routing device 22 are connected via a wired connection, allowing users to connect these two different network devices using a network cable. If routing device 22 supports fiber optic access, then CPE 21 and routing device 22 can also be connected via fiber optic cable. It should be understood that CPE 21 and routing device 22 can also be connected via other wired or wireless methods.
[0155] In some implementations, CPE21 is equipped with a communication module, through which CPE21 can access the Internet or online services provided by operators. In this case, the wireless network constructed through routing device 22 and CPE21 improves the flexibility of wireless network configuration scenarios, enabling Internet access without the need for fiber optic access to the optical network unit, thereby enhancing the applicability of the wireless network to outdoor scenarios.
[0156] In this embodiment, CPE21 can provide wireless network 1, and the routing device can provide wireless network 2. Before configuring the two network devices, the SSIDs of the wireless networks provided by the two network devices are different. The user needs to configure the network parameters of the two network devices in order to build the same wireless network through CPE21 and routing device 22.
[0157] In this embodiment, user equipment 23 can choose to access wireless network 1 or wireless network 2 to configure the network parameters of the two network devices according to the actual situation. For example, if the user is indoors, user equipment 23 can access wireless network 2 provided by router 22 and configure the network parameters of the two network devices through wireless network 2; if the user is outdoors, user equipment 23 can access wireless network 1 provided by CPE 21 and configure the network parameters of the two network devices through wireless network 1.
[0158] Specifically, Figure 3A schematic flowchart of a network setup method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 2 The wireless network system shown in this application embodiment includes a network setup method comprising two stages: a setup preparation stage 31 and a parameter setting stage 32. The setup preparation stage 31 specifically involves the interaction between the CPE and the routing device; while the parameter setting stage 32 specifically involves the interaction between the CPE, the routing device, and the user equipment. The specific implementation process of these two stages is described below:
[0159] Phase 1: Setup and Preparation Phase
[0160] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates an interactive flowchart of the network setup preparation stage of a method provided in an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 4 As shown, the setup preparation phase includes the following steps:
[0161] In S401, the user premises equipment establishes a wired connection with the routing equipment.
[0162] In this embodiment, when a user needs to build the same wireless network using a CPE and a routing device, they can connect the two network devices via a network cable or other wired connection method. Once the two network devices detect the established wired connection, they can perform an information synchronization step, i.e., the subsequent steps.
[0163] In some possible implementations, after the CPE establishes a wired connection with the routing device, it can configure the network addresses of each port of the routing device according to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
[0164] In S402, the user premises equipment sends the gateway address to the routing equipment.
[0165] In this embodiment, the CPE is configured with a communication module. For example, if the CPE's communication module is a mobile communication module, the CPE may contain one or more Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards or eSIMs. The mobile communication module can access the mobile communication network through the SIM card (or eSIM) so that the CPE can access the Internet or network services provided by operators. If the CPE's communication module is a satellite communication module, the CPE can search for satellite signals through the satellite module and communicate with satellites through the satellite communication module, thereby accessing the Internet or network services provided by relevant operators via satellite. Therefore, the CPE has the function of accessing the Internet, and its Internet access network address is the gateway address. When a wired connection is established between the CPE and the routing device, the CPE can send the gateway address to the routing device so that the routing device can subsequently interact with the Internet through this gateway address.
[0166] In this embodiment, after receiving the gateway address sent by the CPE, the routing device can store the gateway address locally. For example, the routing device can store the first network information of the CPE, and the routing device can store the gateway address in the first network information.
[0167] In S403, the routing device sends a third message to the user premises equipment.
[0168] In this embodiment, after receiving the gateway address sent by the CPE, the routing device can send a third message to the CPE. This third message is used to inquire whether the CPE supports the merged configuration mode. If the CPE supports the merged configuration mode, the routing device can send the stored second network information to the CPE to achieve network information synchronization; otherwise, if the CPE does not support the merged configuration mode, the routing device will not send the stored second network information to the CPE and will wait for the user to perform subsequent network configuration on the routing device.
[0169] In S404, the user premises equipment responds to the third message by sending a fourth message to the routing equipment.
[0170] In this embodiment, when the CPE receives the third message sent by the routing device, it can generate a corresponding fourth message. This fourth message is a response message corresponding to the third message, and it contains third information. This third information is used to indicate whether the CPE supports the merged configuration mode.
[0171] In this embodiment, if the CPE supports the merge setting mode, the aforementioned third information can be set to the first value; if the CPE does not support the merge setting mode, the aforementioned third information can be set to the second value. In some implementations, the aforementioned first value can be 1, and the second value can be 0.
[0172] In this embodiment, if the CPE supports a merged setting mode, the fourth message may also carry the first information corresponding to the CPE. This first information indicates whether the first network parameter of the CPE has been set. Specifically, if the CPE has already set the first network parameter, the first information is set to a third value; conversely, if the CPE has not set the first network parameter, the first information is set to a fourth value. In some implementations, the third value can be 1, and the fourth value can be 0.
[0173] In some implementations, if the CPE does not support the merge setting mode, the fourth message mentioned above may only contain the third information set to the second value, without encapsulating the first information in the fourth message mentioned above, or the value corresponding to the first information may be randomly set.
[0174] In S405, when the routing device detects a third information indicating that the CPE supports the merged setup mode, it sends a second network information to the user premises equipment.
[0175] In this embodiment, after receiving the second message sent by the CPE, the routing device can determine the value corresponding to the third information. If the value corresponding to the third information is the first value, the CPE is instructed to support the merged setting mode, and the operation of S405 is executed, and the first information is stored in the local first network information; otherwise, if the third information is the second value, the CPE is instructed not to support the merged setting mode, and the first information carried in the fourth message does not need to be read.
[0176] In this embodiment, the second network information may include the wireless network information of the routing device and the corresponding second information of the routing device. The wireless network information may include the SSID of the routing device's wireless network and the gateway address of the routing device. If the routing device's wireless network has a password, the wireless network information may also include the SSID and the corresponding password. The aforementioned second information is used to indicate whether the second network parameters of the routing device have been set successfully.
[0177] In this embodiment, if the CPE supports a merged configuration mode, the fourth message may also carry second information corresponding to the routing device. This second information indicates whether the routing device's second network parameters have been set. Specifically, if the routing device has already set the second network parameters, the second information can be set to a third value; conversely, if the routing device has not completed the second network parameter setting, the second information can be set to a fourth value. In some implementations, the third value can be 1, and the fourth value can be 0.
[0178] Optionally, when the routing device detects that the third information indicates that the CPE does not support the merged setup mode, it ends the network information synchronization process, that is, it does not need to send the local second network information to the routing device.
[0179] In some implementations, when the routing device detects third-party information indicating that the CPE supports merged setup mode, it can establish an encrypted link with the CPE. This encrypted link can be used to transmit second network information corresponding to the routing device. Since the second network information subsequently sent by the routing device to the CPE includes wireless network information, which includes the routing device's SSID and password—personal information—establishing an encrypted link can improve the confidentiality of personal information and reduce the risk of data leakage.
[0180] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, when the routing device establishes an encrypted link with the CPE, the routing device can set its local firewall to a first state (i.e., open the routing device's firewall rules). With the routing device's firewall in the first state, it allows the WAN side to send data to the routing device. Since the routing device accesses the Internet through the CPE in this wireless network system, that is, with the routing device's firewall in the first state, the routing device allows the CPE to send data to the routing device.
[0181] In some possible implementations, after the routing device establishes an encrypted link with the CPE, the CPE can send a seventh message to the routing device. This seventh message instructs the routing device to send second network information. Upon receiving the seventh message from the CPE, the routing device then sends the aforementioned second network information back to the CPE.
[0182] In this embodiment, the CPE sends the gateway address to the routing device in S402 and sends the first information to the routing device in S404. The routing device records the gateway address of the CPE and the first information. Similarly, the routing device can also send the second network information to the CPE in S405. The CPE also records the wireless network information of the routing device and the second information, thereby realizing the synchronization of network information between the two network devices. When a user device accesses any wireless network, it can determine the setting status of the other network device so as to merge the network parameters.
[0183] It should be noted that during the setup preparation phase 31 described above, all data interaction between the routing device and the CPE is achieved through the established wired connection. Specifically, if an encrypted link is established between the routing device and the CPE, data containing personal information can be transmitted via the encrypted wired connection.
[0184] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, after S405, it may also include:
[0185] In S406, when the user premises equipment completes the first network parameter settings, it sends the fifth message to the routing device.
[0186] In S407, the routing device responds to the fifth message by updating the first information in the first network information.
[0187] In this embodiment, the user can configure only the first network parameter of the CPE. For example, the user equipment can connect to the CPE via a serial interface and then configure the first network parameter of the CPE; or, for another example, the user can insert a USB flash drive containing a configuration script of the configured first network parameter into the CPE, and the automatic configuration script can run automatically within the CPE to configure its first network parameter.
[0188] In this embodiment, after setting the first network parameters, the CPE can update its locally stored first information (e.g., update the value corresponding to the first information to a third value) and generate a corresponding fifth message, which is then sent to the routing device. Upon receiving the fifth message from the CPE, the routing device can update the first information in its stored first network information about the CPE (e.g., update the value corresponding to the first information in the first network information to a third value) to ensure that the first network information is synchronized with the actual settings of the CPE.
[0189] In this embodiment of the application, if the user sets the network parameters for the CPE separately, the CPE can also send the corresponding fifth message to the routing device to achieve information synchronization between the two network devices and avoid subsequent repeated settings.
[0190] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, after S405, it may also include:
[0191] In S408, when the routing device completes the second network parameter settings, it sends a sixth message to the user premises equipment.
[0192] In S409, the user premises equipment responds to the sixth message by updating the second information in the second network information.
[0193] In this embodiment, the user can configure only the second network parameters of the routing device. For example, the user equipment can connect to the routing device via a serial interface and then configure the second network parameters of the routing device; or, for another example, the user can insert a USB flash drive containing a configuration script of the configured second network parameters into the routing device, and the automatic configuration script can run automatically within the routing device to configure its second network parameters.
[0194] In this embodiment, after setting the second network parameters, the routing device can update its locally stored second information (e.g., update the value corresponding to the second information to the third value) and generate a corresponding sixth message, which is then sent to the CPE. Upon receiving the sixth message from the routing device, the CPE can update its stored second network information about the routing device (e.g., update the value corresponding to the second information in the second network information to the third value) to ensure that the second network information remains synchronized with the actual settings of the routing device.
[0195] In this embodiment of the application, if the user sets the network parameters of the routing device separately, the routing device can also send the corresponding sixth message to the CPE to realize information synchronization between the two network devices and avoid subsequent repeated settings.
[0196] Phase 2: Parameter Setting Phase
[0197] Users can access the wireless network provided by any network device through user equipment 23, such as wireless network 1 provided by CPE 21 or wireless network 2 provided by router 22. Therefore, depending on the network device accessed by the user equipment and whether information can be exchanged between the CPE and the router, the above parameter setting stage can be divided into the following three cases:
[0198] Scenario 1: User equipment connects to the wireless network provided by the routing device.
[0199] For example, Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the interactive flowchart of the parameter setting stage according to an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 5As shown, when a user equipment accesses the wireless network of a routing device, the method of the network device specifically includes the following steps:
[0200] In S501, user equipment accesses the wireless network provided by the routing device.
[0201] In this embodiment, if the user equipment is within the coverage area of the wireless network provided by the routing device, the user equipment can search for the SSID corresponding to the routing device. The user can select from multiple wireless networks on the user equipment to access the wireless network provided by the routing device. In response to the user's selection operation, the user equipment accesses the wireless network provided by the routing device and establishes a wireless connection with the routing device.
[0202] In S502, the user equipment sends the first message to the routing device through the wireless network provided by the routing device.
[0203] In this embodiment, after the user equipment accesses the wireless network provided by the routing device, it can send a first message to the routing device to determine the network parameter settings of the routing device and the CPE connected to it.
[0204] In S503, the routing device responds to the first message by sending a second message. The second message includes the first information of the user premises equipment and the second information of the routing device.
[0205] In this embodiment, upon receiving a first message from a user equipment (UE), the routing device can generate a second message, which includes first information and second information. The first information can be stored in the routing device's internal first network information, which is sent to the routing device by the CPE. The second information is stored in the routing device's internal second network information. The routing device can determine the network devices that have not completed network parameter settings based on the above two pieces of information and generate the corresponding second message.
[0206] In some implementations, the aforementioned second message includes five fields: devType, SelfGuide, neighborGuide, CPEIP, and RouterSSID. For example, Table 1 shows the correspondence between the fields of the second message provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0207]
[0208]
[0209] Table 1
[0210] In this embodiment, since the wireless network accessed by the user equipment is a wireless network provided by the routing device, the aforementioned SelfGuide represents the network parameter setting status of the routing device, which can be determined based on the second information. Correspondingly, the neighboring device connected to the routing device is the CPE, therefore, the aforementioned neighborGuide represents the network parameter setting status of the CPE, which can be determined based on the first information. Correspondingly, if the wireless network accessed by the user is a wireless network provided by the CPE, the aforementioned SelfGuide specifically represents the network parameter setting status of the CPE, which can be determined based on the first information; correspondingly, the neighboring device connected to the CPE is the routing device, therefore, the aforementioned neighborGuide represents the network parameter setting status of the routing device, which can be determined based on the second information.
[0211] The contents of each of the above fields are recorded in the first network information and the second network information. For example, the SSID of the routing device is recorded in the wireless network information of the routing device in the second network information. Since both the routing device and the user premises equipment store the above two types of network information, the user equipment can generate the above second message when it accesses any network device.
[0212] In some possible implementations, if the wireless network of the routing device is password-protected, the second message may also include a password field, which is used to store the password of the wireless network of the routing device.
[0213] In some implementations, the second message also includes third information, which indicates whether the routing device and the user premises equipment support the merged configuration mode. If the value corresponding to the third information is the first value, it means that the routing device and the user premises equipment support the merged configuration mode, and in this case, the contents of the above five fields can be read; conversely, if the value corresponding to the third information is the second value, it means that the routing device and the user premises equipment do not support the merged configuration mode, and in this case, the contents of the above five fields do not need to be read. For example, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a second message provided in another embodiment of this application is shown. See also Figure 6 As shown, this second message includes not only the five fields devType, SelfGuide, neighborGuide, CPEIP, and RouterSSID, but also third information. The routing device can set the third information first; if the value corresponding to this third information is the second value, then the content of subsequent fields does not need to be set, thereby improving the efficiency of message generation.
[0214] In S504, the user equipment generates a network settings interface based on the first and second information in the second message.
[0215] In this embodiment, the user equipment can determine whether the first network parameter of the CPE has been set successfully based on the first information in the second message. If the value corresponding to the first information is the third value, it indicates that the CPE has completed the setting of the first network parameter, and the setting area for the first network parameter does not need to be set in the aforementioned network setting interface. Conversely, if the value corresponding to the first information is the fourth value, it indicates that the CPE has not completed the setting of the first network parameter, and the setting area for the first network parameter can be set in the aforementioned network setting interface. Similarly, the user equipment can determine whether the second network parameter of the routing device has been set successfully based on the second information, and determine whether the corresponding setting area needs to be configured in the network setting interface.
[0216] For example, Figure 7 This diagram illustrates a network settings interface provided in an embodiment of this application. If the user equipment detects that the first information indicates that the first network parameter of the CPE has not been set, and the second information indicates that the second network parameter of the routing device has been set, then the network settings interface only contains area 71 of the CPE's settings parameters, such as... Figure 7 As shown in (a), the setting parameters may include the SSID, password, and network address allocation rules of the wireless network. If the user equipment detects that the first information indicates that the first network parameter setting of the CPE is complete, and the second information indicates that the second network parameter setting of the routing device is not complete, then the network setting interface only contains area 72 of the routing device's setting parameters, such as... Figure 7 As shown in (b) above. If the user equipment detects that the first information indicates that the first network parameter of the CPE has not been set, and the second information indicates that the second network parameter of the routing device has not been set, then the network settings interface includes area 73 containing the CPE's settings parameters, and also includes area 74 containing the routing device's settings parameters, as shown in (b). Figure 7 As shown in (c) in the figure.
[0217] In some possible implementations, regardless of whether the CPE and routing devices have completed the network parameter configuration, the user interface remains the same, such as... Figure 7As shown in (d), the wireless network settings interface contains only one settings area, namely area 75. Area 75 contains controls for simultaneously configuring the wireless networks of two network devices, namely merge settings controls, such as controls 76 and 77. For example, setting the wireless network of the router device and the wireless network of the CPE to the same SSID, and setting the wireless network of the router device and the wireless network of the CPE to the same password. Since the user can build a wireless network through the CPE and the router device, the network parameters of the two network devices are the same. The user only needs to perform the settings once. That is, whether the router device and the CPE are set up or not, the operation content is the same for the user. The network settings interface will not change according to the difference between the first information and the second information. Correspondingly, since the device content of the network settings interface is common to both devices, the user device can generate the set first network parameters and / or the set second network parameters according to the settings data of the merge settings controls in the network settings interface. Specifically, the user equipment (UE) can determine in the background whether to generate the first network parameters corresponding to the CPE based on the first information. For example, if the first information indicates that the first network parameters of the CPE have not been set, the UE can generate the set first network parameters based on the aforementioned setting data. Similarly, the UE can determine in the background whether to generate the second network parameters corresponding to the routing device based on the second information. For example, if the second information indicates that the second network parameters of the routing device have not been set, the UE can generate the set second network parameters. The UE then sends the generated network parameters to the routing device, thereby improving the user's operational efficiency.
[0218] In this embodiment, the user can set the relevant network parameters of the wireless network in the network settings interface. After setting the required network parameters in the network settings interface, the user can click the "complete" control so that the user device can send the user-set network parameters to the router device.
[0219] In S505, the user equipment sends the network parameters set by the user in the network settings interface to the routing device.
[0220] In this embodiment, the user equipment can send the network parameters set by the user in the network settings interface to the routing device so that the routing device and the unconfigured network devices in the CPE can set the parameters. If the network parameters include the first network parameters set by the CPE, they can be forwarded to the CPE through the routing device. Thus, the user equipment can complete the configuration of two different types of network devices at the same time without having to connect to two different network devices, reducing the user's operation steps and improving the configuration efficiency of the wireless network.
[0221] In S506, if the routing device detects that the network parameters sent by the user equipment include the configured second network parameters, it can configure the wireless network provided by the routing device according to the configured second network parameters.
[0222] In this embodiment, if the routing device has not completed the network parameter setting operation, the user can set the second network parameter of the routing device in the above-mentioned network settings interface. Then, the network parameters sent by the user device include the set second network parameter. The routing device can set the local wireless network according to the set second network parameter, such as adjusting the SSID and password of its wireless network.
[0223] In S507, if the routing device detects that the network parameters sent by the user equipment include the configured first network parameters, it can send the configured first network parameters to the CPE via a wired connection.
[0224] In S508, the user premises equipment sets up the wireless network provided by the user premises equipment based on the first network parameters after they are set.
[0225] In this embodiment, if the CPE has not completed the network parameter settings, the user can still set the first network parameters of the CPE in the aforementioned network device. Since the user equipment is connected to the wireless network of the routing device, and the routing device is allowed to send data to the CPE, the routing device can send the set first network parameters to the CPE, and the CPE can configure the locally provided wireless network according to the set first network parameters.
[0226] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, if the wired connection between the CPE and the routing device is broken, such as when the user unplugs the network cable between them, then after S508, the following may also be included:
[0227] In S509, the routing device updates the first information in the first network information stored locally, for example, by setting the value corresponding to the first information in the first network information to the fourth value.
[0228] In S510, the user premises equipment updates the second information in the second network information stored locally, for example, by setting the value corresponding to the second information in the second network information to the fourth value.
[0229] In this embodiment, if the user disconnects the wired connection between the two network devices, it is necessary to reset the settings saved by the two network devices. For the CPE, since it is not connected to the routing device, the second information about the routing device stored in the CPE is reset. Similarly, since the routing device is not connected to the CPE, the first information about the CPE stored in the routing device needs to be reset and set to the fourth value, that is, in an unset state.
[0230] Scenario 2: The user equipment is connected to the wireless network of the user premises equipment, and the user premises equipment does not allow sending information to the routing equipment.
[0231] For example, Figure 8 An interactive flowchart of the parameter setting stage provided in another embodiment of this application is shown. See also Figure 8 As shown, when a user equipment accesses the wireless network of a CPE and the routing device does not allow the CPE to send information, the method of this network device specifically includes the following steps:
[0232] In S801, user equipment connects to the wireless network of user premises equipment.
[0233] In this embodiment, the situation is the same as that of accessing the wireless network of the routing device. For the specific implementation process, please refer to the relevant description in S501, which will not be repeated here.
[0234] In S802, the user equipment sends the first message to the user premises equipment through the wireless network of the user premises equipment.
[0235] In this embodiment, the situation is the same as that of accessing the wireless network of the routing device. For the specific implementation process, please refer to the relevant description in S502, which will not be repeated here.
[0236] In S803, the user premises equipment responds to the first message and sends a second message based on the first information in the first network information and the second information in the second network information.
[0237] In this embodiment, the situation is the same as that of accessing the wireless network of the routing device. For the specific implementation process, please refer to the relevant description in S503, which will not be repeated here.
[0238] In S804, if the user equipment detects that the second information indicates that the second network parameters of the routing device have not been set, it accesses the wireless network provided by the routing device according to the wireless network information of the routing device in the second message, such as accessing the wireless network provided by the routing device according to the SSID of the routing device in the second message. It should be understood that the second message here also includes the wireless network information of the routing device.
[0239] In this embodiment, if the second information corresponds to the fourth value, it indicates that the routing device has not set its network parameters and it is necessary to set the relevant network parameters for the routing device. Since the CPE cannot send information to the routing device, the second network parameters set by the routing device cannot be sent to the routing device through the CPE. Therefore, it is necessary to guide the user device to access the wireless network provided by the routing device.
[0240] It should be noted that since the second message is generated based on the first network information and the second network information, and the second network information records the wireless network information of the routing device, such as the SSID and password of the routing device, the user device can access the wireless network provided by the routing device according to the wireless network information corresponding to the routing device. The above process does not require manual operation by the user. The above wireless network switching process is imperceptible to the user and will not increase the user's operation steps, thereby improving the user experience.
[0241] In some possible implementations, if the second information indicates that the second network parameter setting of the routing device is complete, the user equipment can continue to access the wireless network provided by the CPE without needing to switch wireless networks. Since the second information indicating the completion of the second network parameter setting of the routing device means that no parameter settings are needed for the routing device, only for the CPE, the user equipment can continue to access the wireless network provided by the CPE. After completing the settings, the user equipment sends the configured first network parameters to the CPE through the wireless network provided by the CPE.
[0242] In some possible ways, if the second information indicates that the second network parameter setting of the routing device is complete, the user equipment can also be connected to the wireless network provided by the routing device. Since the user equipment can not only set network parameters for network devices without network parameters, but also adjust the parameters of network devices with network parameters already set, in this case, the above-mentioned network setting interface can also include the network parameters that need to be adjusted. After adjusting the network parameters, it is still necessary to send data to the routing device. Therefore, the user equipment can send the adjusted network parameters to the routing device by connecting to the wireless network of the routing device.
[0243] In S805, the user equipment generates a network settings interface that includes the second network parameters.
[0244] In this embodiment, if the user equipment detects that the first information indicates that the first network parameter setting of the CPE is complete, the network setting interface can contain only the setting area for the second network parameter. If the user equipment detects that the first information indicates that the first network parameter setting of the CPE is not complete, it means that network parameters need to be set for both the CPE and the routing device simultaneously. Therefore, a network setting interface containing both the first and second network parameters can be generated. For the specific setting process, please refer to the relevant description in S504, which will not be repeated here.

[0248] In S809, the user premises equipment sets up the wireless network provided by the user premises equipment according to the first network parameters after they are set.
[0249] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, if the wired connection between the CPE and the routing device is broken, such as when the user unplugs the network cable between them, then after S508, the following may also be included:
[0250] In S810, the routing device updates the first information in the first network information stored locally, for example, setting the first information in the first network information to the fourth value.
[0251] In S811, the user premises equipment updates the second information in the second network information stored locally, for example, setting the second information in the second network information to the fourth value.

Figure 10 As shown, when a user equipment accesses the wireless network of a CPE and the routing device allows the CPE to send information (i.e., the routing device's firewall is in its first state), the method of this network device specifically includes the following steps:

[0280] In this embodiment, since the firewall of the routing device is in the first state, that is, the CPE is allowed to send information to the routing device, the user equipment does not need to switch to the wireless network provided by the routing device. In this case, the user equipment remains connected to the wireless network of the user premises equipment.

[0285] In S1008, the routing device configures the wireless network provided by the routing device based on the configured second network parameters.
[0286] In this embodiment, since the routing device allows the CPE to send data, the CPE can forward the received configured second network parameters to the routing device, and the routing device can configure the wireless network provided by the routing device according to the configured second network parameters.
[0287] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, if the wired connection between the CPE and the routing device is broken, such as when the user unplugs the network cable between them, then after S1008, the following may also be included:
[0288] In S1009, the routing device updates the first information in the first network information stored locally, for example, by setting the first information in the first network information to a fourth value.
[0289] In S1010, the routing device sets the firewall to the second state. When the firewall is in the second state, the CPE is prohibited from sending data to the routing device.
[0290] In S1011, the user premises equipment updates the second information in the second network information stored locally, for example, by setting the second information in the second network information to a fourth value.
[0291] To further illustrate the entire wireless network setup process, which combines the preparation and setup phases, Figure 11 A flowchart illustrating a network setup according to yet another embodiment of this application is shown. See also... Figure 11 As shown, the method for setting up this network may specifically include the following steps:

[0295] In S114, the CPE sends a fourth message to the routing device. This fourth message includes the third information and the first information.
[0296] In S115, the routing device establishes an encrypted link with the CPE and sets the routing device's firewall to the first state.
[0297] In S116, the CPE sends the seventh message to the routing device.
[0298] In S117, the routing device sends second network information to the CPE. This second network information includes: second information, SSID, and the gateway address of the routing device.
[0299] In S118, if the user sets the first network parameter for the CPE individually, the CPE sends a fifth message to the routing device to update the first information in the routing device.
[0300] In S119, if a user sets a second network parameter for the routing device separately, the routing device sends a sixth message to the CPE to update the second information in the CPE.
[0301] In S1110, if a user equipment connects to a routing device, it sends a first message to the routing device.
[0302] In S1111, the routing device sends a second message to the user equipment.
[0303] In S1112, user equipment settings are configured for network devices that are not configured.
[0304] In S1113, if the user equipment connects to the CPE, the first message is sent to the CPE.
[0305] In S1114, the CPE sends a second message to the user equipment.
[0306] In S1115, user equipment can configure unconfigured network devices in the CPE's wireless network. If it is necessary to configure the routing device, the second network parameters after configuration can be sent to the routing device through the CPE.
[0307] In S1116, if the CPE disconnects from the routing device via wired connection, the CPE resets the second information of the local routing device, the routing device also resets the first information of the local CPE, and restores the firewall to the second state.
[0308] As can be seen from the above, in the network setup method provided in this application embodiment, before setting up the wireless network for the user's premises device and the routing device, the two network devices record the network information of the other end, thereby determining not only their own setup status but also the setup status of the other end device. When the user device accesses the wireless network provided by one of the network devices to set network parameters, both types of network devices can generate a second message based on the local network information and the network information of the other end. The user device can generate a network setup interface for setting up network devices that have not yet been configured based on the second message. This eliminates the need for the user to access the wireless networks of the two network devices separately to complete the network parameter settings, reducing the user's operation steps and improving the efficiency of wireless network setup.
