Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an access point handover method and an apparatus. The method includes: sensing, by a terminal, that a currently connected access point cannot satisfy a transmission condition. The method includes finding, by the terminal, that at least one access point satisfying the transmission condition exists in access points having names partially the same as that of the currently connected access point. The method includes establishing, by the terminal, a connection to one of the at least one access point satisfying the transmission condition.
