Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an access point handover method and an apparatus. The method includes: sensing, by a terminal, that a currently connected access point cannot satisfy a transmission condition; finding, by the terminal, that at least one access point satisfying the transmission condition exists in access points having names partially the same as that of the currently connected access point; and establishing, by the terminal, a connection to one of the at least one access point satisfying the transmission condition.
