The invention involves a method and a system for station (STA) switching when a wireless terminal point (WTP) completes wireless local area network (WLAN) privacy infrastructure (WPI) in a convergent WLAN. The method includes steps as follows. The STA implements re-association rebinding process with a target access controller (AC) over a target WTP. A base key is requested by the target AC from an associated AC. An associated WTP is informed to delete the STA by the associated AC, and the target WTP is informed to add the STA by the target AC. A session key is negotiated based on the requested base key by the STA and the target AC, and is synchronized between the target AC and the target WTP. The method enables fast and safe switching of the STA between WTPs under the control of different controllers in the convergent WLAN based on WAPI protocol.
