Abstract
An apparatus for accessing a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, including a Wi-Fi processor and N Wi-Fi access circuits. N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. The Wi-Fi processor is shared by the N Wi-Fi access circuits and implements an operation function related to Wi-Fi. The N Wi-Fi access circuits receives and transmits data at a same time through N Wi-Fi networks that operate on different radio frequency bands. Each Wi-Fi access circuit of the Wi-Fi access circuits comprises a Media Access Control (MAC) hardware and a physical layer (PHY) hardware.
