A method for accessing a wireless network with a first device, comprising:
- scanning for a first service set identification (SSID);
- acquiring the first SSID from a scan result, wherein a second device corresponding to the first SSID is connected with the wireless network and provided with an activated relay function;
- accessing the second device based on the first SSID and a first password of the second device;
- acquiring a second SSID and a second password of the wireless network from the second device;
- and
- accessing the wireless network based on the second SSID and the second password.
An apparatus for accessing a wireless network with a first device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- scan for a first service set identification (SSID);
- acquire the first SSID from a scan result, wherein a second device corresponding to the first SSID is connected with the wireless network and provided with an activated relay function;
- access the second device based on the first SSID and a first password of the second device;
- acquire a second SSID and a second password of the wireless network from the second device;
- and
- access the wireless network based on the second SSID and the second password.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first device, cause the first device to:
- scan for a first service set identification (SSID);
- acquire the first SSID from a scan result, wherein a second device corresponding to the first SSID is connected with the wireless network and provided with an activated relay function;
- access the second device based on the first SSID and a first password of the second device;
- acquiring a second SSID and a second password of the wireless network from the second device;
- and
- accessing the wireless network based on the second SSID and the second password.
