The invention discloses an adaptive 
mode switching method for a 
wireless Mesh network. The method comprises steps: a portal point periodically operates a certain address command in the ping internet; in the case of ping 
interoperability, the portal point is switched in a MPP (Mesh Portal Point) mode, and the 
default gateway routing entry of the original point is deleted; in the case of unable ping 
interoperability, the portal point is switched in a MP (
Mesh Point) mode; after a message is sent to the portal point, whether a network bridge exit is consistent with the 
default gateway IP address is checked; in the case of consistency, the MPP is switched in the MP mode, and the 
default gateway routing entry is added; the MP is switched in the MPP mode, and the default gateway routing entry is deleted; and the MP is switched in the MP mode, whether the default gateway IP in a gateway 
list is the same as the default gateway 
IP address through a bridge interface is compared, if not, the default gateway through the interface is deleted, and a new default gateway is added. An 
adaptive switching function is realized in a WMN network multi-gateway environment is realized, the robustness of the network is added, and surfing experience of the user is enhanced.
