Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and devices for accessing a network hotspot device by an unconfigured device. The network hotspot device is configured to create a first hotspot and a second hotspot. The method can include reporting, by the unconfigured device, device information of the unconfigured device to one or more network hotspot devices through the first hotspot of the one or more network hotspot devices for sending the device information to a server. One or more user terminals corresponding to the one or more network hotspot devices sends a configuration request for the unconfigured device to the server, the server determines that the user terminal of which the configuration request is first received by the server is a target user terminal and sends a configuration response message to the target user terminal, the target user terminal enables the unconfigured device to access the second hotspot of a target network hotspot device corresponding to the target user terminal after receiving the configuration response message. The method can also include accessing, by the unconfigured device, the second hotspot of the target network hotspot device.
