Abstract

Disclosed is a wireless hotspot switching method, which is applied to a mobile terminal. The method comprises: after a mobile terminal establishes a first wireless connection with a first wireless hotspot via a first wireless module, and when it is determined that a first wireless link as a current network link meets a first pre-set condition, establishing a second wireless link with a second wireless hotspot via a second wireless module and maintaining the connection of the first wireless link, and then when it is determined that the second wireless link meets a second pre-set condition, switching a current network link to the second wireless link so as to access a network via the second wireless link. In this way, the whole switching process is transparent to a user, and the user will not feel problems, such as link disconnection, excessively slow network speed and poor network quality, due to link switching, so that seamless switching between wireless hotspots is implemented, and the fluency of network accessing during a user movement process is ensured. Also provided are a mobile terminal and a storage medium at the same time.
