-21. (canceled)
A method for automatic switching between access points, wherein the method comprises:
- sending, by a wireless routing device, a wireless connection request message to an access point device to establish a network connection to the access point device when the access point device is within a wireless connection range of the wireless routing device;
- and
- disrupting, by the wireless routing device, the network connection to the terminal to trigger the terminal to connect to the access point device.
A wireless routing device that has established a network connection to a terminal, wherein the wireless routing device comprises:
- a transmitter configured to:
- send a wireless connection request message to an access point device to establish a network connection to the access point device when the access point device is within a wireless connection range of the wireless routing device;
- and
- a processor configured to disrupt the network connection to the terminal, to trigger the terminal to connect to the access point device, when the access point device is within the wireless connection range.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory comprises instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the apparatus to:
- send a wireless connection request message to an access point device to establish a network connection to the access point device when the access point device is within a wireless connection range of a wireless routing device;
- and
- disrupt the network connection to the terminal to trigger the terminal to connect to the access point device when the access point device is within the wireless connection range.
