Method and Apparatus for Setting Network Node Location

A router in a ZigBee network, comprising:

• a network parameter acquiring unit configured to acquire a network parameter of at least one network device in a network connecting to the router, wherein the network parameter is used to indicate connection performance of a link between the network devices;
• a calculating unit configured to calculate the number of network parameters meeting a predefined threshold condition;
• an indication information acquiring unit configured to map the number of the network parameters meeting the predefined threshold condition to corresponding indication information, wherein the indication information indicates deployment performance of the router in the network;
• and
• a displaying unit configured to provide the indication information for a user, wherein the indication information is used to instruct the user to set a location for the router in the network.
