Embodiment 1:

The embodiment of the present invention is implemented as follows: the station to be accessed (station, STA) and the wireless router support the WPS PBC mode, and the wireless router accepts the user to configure multiple SSIDs on the website user interface (Web UI). The wireless router provides a software interface that allows the user to configure whether WPS is enabled under each SSID.

2 is a flowchart of Embodiment 1 of the method of the present invention. The access method as shown in FIG. 2 includes the following steps:

Step 201: The wireless router writes configuration information into the storage area.

The wireless router provides a software interface that accepts the user to configure the maximum number of allowed access users and the SSID supporting the WPS PBC corresponding to each SSID in the router on the Web UI. In addition, the wireless router counts the number of Wi-Fi actual access users and the real-time traffic of the user that each SSID is currently connected to.

In this embodiment, the wireless router writes the number of allowed access users corresponding to each SSID, the SSID supporting the WPS PBC, the actual number of access users, and the traffic into the non-volatile memory (NV). .

Once the data is written to NV, it will not be lost even if it is powered off. The next time it is restarted, the original settings will remain.

Step 202: When the wireless router detects the WPS PBC trigger, the timer is started.

Step 203: Receive an access instruction of the terminal to be accessed in the timer time.

Optionally, determining whether the access instruction is a PBC command, and determining that the access command is a PBC command, performing step 204. The PBC command refers to a hard button or a soft button trigger signal from a terminal to be accessed.

Step 204: Query NV WPS configuration information, and select an SSID supporting the PBC according to the configuration information.

Step 205: Determine whether the number of Wi-Fi actual user accesses of the SSID reaches the maximum number of allowed access users. If yes, go to step 206 and go to step 207.

Step 206: Increase the maximum number of allowed access users corresponding to the current default SSID.

In this embodiment, there are two cases in step 206:

For example, if the sum of the maximum number of allowed access users configured by all the SSIDs of the router is smaller than the maximum number of allowed accesses of the router, the maximum number of allowed access users corresponding to the current default SSID is directly increased; the current default SSID is added. The maximum number of allowed access users allowed to access the maximum number of users and other SSIDs does not exceed the maximum number of allowed accesses by the router.

On the other hand, if the sum of the maximum number of users allowed to access the SSID of the router is less than or equal to the maximum number of accesses allowed by the router, the step further includes: detecting whether the actual number of accesses of other SSIDs reaches the corresponding permission. If the number of user accesses that do not reach the maximum number of allowed users is detected, the maximum allowed number of accesses corresponding to the SSID is reduced, and the reduced allowed access user data is increased as the current default SSID. Allow access to maximum user data. Update the adjusted configuration parameters to NV.

Step 207: Access the to-be-accessed terminal to the current default SSID.

In the access process, the routing device completes the access process by using the encryption authentication of the STA.

The WebUI of the wireless router queries the Wi-Fi maximum user access number NV, updates to the Web UI display, and the STA and the wireless router complete WPS encryption.

Embodiment 2

3 is a flowchart of Embodiment 2 of the method of the present invention. The access method as shown in FIG. 3 includes the following steps:

Step 301: The wireless router writes the configuration into the software NV.

The wireless router provides a software interface to accept the user to set WPS with multiple SSIDs enabled on the Web UI, and configure the maximum number of users that can be connected under each SSID, and write to NV.

The wireless router counts the actual number of connected users currently connected to each SSID and the traffic of the access users under each SSID, and writes the real-time statistics to NV.

Optionally, the statistics of the access users under each SSID are summed to obtain the total SSID traffic, and the total traffic is written into the NV.

Step 302: When receiving the WPS PBC command of the terminal to be accessed, the wireless router queries the SSID supporting the WPS PBC according to the WPS configuration information of the NV.

The PBC command refers to a hard button or a soft button trigger signal from a terminal to be accessed.

Step 303: The wireless router determines, according to a preset rule, that an SSID is the current default SSID from each SSID supporting the WPS PBC.

Preset rule one: The WPS PBC SSID with the least number of STA access users is determined as the current default SSID, so that the number of Wi-Fi access users under each SSID is appropriately and uniformly managed.

Preset rule mode 2: The WPS PBC SSID with the smallest total traffic of the STA accessing the current access terminal is determined as the current default SSID, which improves the user experience.

In this embodiment, only two preset rules are exemplarily given, and the present invention does not limit this.

In this embodiment, the current default SSID is optional according to the preset rule, and there are other alternative technical solutions: for example, directly enabling any SSID supporting the WPS PBC mode to be the current default SSID.

Step 304: When it is determined that the current default SSID actual access user number reaches the corresponding maximum number of allowed access users, the process goes to step 305.

Step 305: Add the maximum number of allowed access users corresponding to the current default SSID or enable other WPS PBC SSIDs and access the terminal to be accessed to the current default SSID.

The process of increasing the maximum number of users allowed to access the current default SSID is the same as the previous embodiment. For example, the wireless router adds 1 to the maximum number of users allowed to access the current default SSID, and allows access to any other SSID that supports the PBC mode. The maximum number of users is reduced by 1. And the number of allowed access maximum users of the two SSIDs is updated to the software NV, and the web UI re-reading software NV of the wireless router displays the configuration information on the Web UI. With the method according to the embodiment of the present invention, compared with the related art, the router for multiple SSIDs obtains the progress of using the WPS PBC to connect the STA to the appropriate SSID, and improves the connection success rate of the WPS PBC mode. Moreover, the Wi-Fi access device can be connected to any SSID of the multiple SSID wireless router, and the WPS access user can be uniformly managed under one SSID of the wireless router for convenient management.

The steps to enable other WPS PBC SSIDs include:

When both SSID2 and SSID3 enable WPS PBC, if SSID2 actually accesses the number of users When the corresponding maximum number of allowed access users is reached, the STA is directly connected to the SSID3.

Optionally, when the SSID2 or other SSIDs can be accessed by multiple SSIDs, the SSID that allows the maximum number of users to access the maximum number of users and the number of actual access users is selected, and the maximum allowed access user corresponding to the SSID is reduced. number.

The technical solution of this embodiment is not limited to the WPS PBC mode, and is also applicable when the user accesses the wireless router by searching for hotspots.

With the technical solution in this embodiment, if the number of actual access users of all the SSIDs reaches the maximum number of corresponding allowed access users, the user access fails; as long as the number of actual access users does not reach the corresponding maximum number of allowed access users The SSID can guarantee the user's access success.
