Abstract

The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for connecting to a wireless local area network. In one aspect, a method is performed at a mobile terminal. The terminal detects wireless local area networks near a geographic location where the terminal is located, each of the wireless local area networks includes an identifier. The terminal then matches the identifiers of the wireless local area networks and a prestored geographic location of the terminal with an identifier and a geographic location of a wireless local area network, and determines an accessible wireless local area network that includes a corresponding access key. The terminal sets the corresponding access key. The terminal presents a list of the wireless local area networks on a network connection interface, and a connection identifier for the accessible wireless local area network. The terminal detects an operation on the connection identifier, and connects to the accessible wireless local area network.
