Abstract
A method for connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, the Wi-Fi hotspot device, and a user equipment (UE), where the method includes generating, by the Wi-Fi hotspot device, a two-dimensional barcode according to Wi-Fi authentication information, where the two-dimensional barcode includes the Wi-Fi authentication information, and the Wi-Fi authentication information is used for authentication prior to connection to the Wi-Fi hotspot device, and presenting, by the Wi-Fi hotspot device, the two-dimensional barcode to the UE using a display screen of the Wi-Fi hotspot device such that the UE may connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the two-dimensional barcode, and a user does not need to memorize or record the Wi-Fi authentication information, thereby improving user experience.
