Abstract

Embodiments provide a method for accessing a wireless local area network, a station, and an access point. The method includes: receiving, by a station, a beacon or a probe response from an access point, where the beacon or the probe response carries configuration version information; and executing, by the station, a GAS query according to the configuration version information carried in the beacon or the probe response. In embodiments, the access point sends the configuration version information to the station, so that the station executes the GAS query according to the configuration version information.
