Abstract

The present invention relates to the communications field, and discloses a Wi-Fi hotspot recommendation method, a terminal, and a graphical user interface, so as to resolve a problem that a Wi-Fi hotspot selected by a user according to information such as an RSSI is not necessarily a Wi-Fi hotspot with optimal Internet surfing experience in an area in which the user is located. A specific solution is as follows: A terminal scans a Wi-Fi hotspot; determines an Internet-accessible hotspot in Wi-Fi hotspots that are obtained by means of scanning; determines network quality obtained when the terminal accesses a network by using the Internet-accessible hotspot; and displays an identifier of the Internet-accessible hotspot and an identifier that indicates the network quality obtained when the terminal accesses the network by using the Internet-accessible hotspot. The present invention is applied to a Wi-Fi hotspot recommendation process.
