Abstract
The present disclosure provides a network connection configuration method, a network connection configuration apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes sending out a first SSID without a corresponding encryption key, such that an electronic device receiving the first SSID is capable of establishing a keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the first SSID; executing a preset operation which includes acquiring wireless network information sent by the electronic device which establishes the keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus, and establishing a communication connection with a corresponding wireless network device based on the wireless network information; and sending out a second SSID with a corresponding encryption key, such that the electronic device which receives the second SSID is capable of establishing a key communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the second SSID and the corresponding encryption key.
