Abstract
An automatic wireless network linking method with a security configuration includes: providing an access point with a floating service set identifier and a shared key. The floating service set identifier has a prefix name. Next, a host system is provided to execute a setting and linking application to automatically scan the access point with the prefix name and obtain the floating service set identifier of the access point. Both the access point and the setting and linking application perform an operation process to generate a dynamic key. The dynamic key is converted into a wireless network encryption algorithm. Finally, the host system links to the access point to perform wireless communication, and uses the wireless network encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data. Thereby, the time required for setting up the wireless network platform is reduced.
