Abstract

A method for automatically adapting to a Wi-Fi network with hidden service set identifier (SSID) is provided. The method includes a wireless access point (AP) hiding an SSID of the wireless AP and receiving a probe request frame containing request information for automatically adapting to a Wi-Fi network of the wireless AP within coverage of the wireless AP. The method also includes the wireless AP determining whether the probe request frame contains the request information for automatically adapting to the Wi-Fi network of the wireless AP and the wireless AP sending a probe response frame when the probe request frame contains the request information for automatically adapting to the Wi-Fi network of the wireless AP. Further, the method includes the wireless AP receiving a connection request sent by at least one Wi-Fi terminal, such that the at least one Wi-Fi terminal is connected to the Wi-Fi network wirelessly.
