The framework unit 242 adds port numbers of two Wi-Fi modules according to the connection command, obtains connection information, and sends the connection information to the protocol unit 241.

A data module 250, configured to detect, by a service unit 243, a network condition of the first Wi-Fi module 210 and the second Wi-Fi module 220, and switch the first Wi-Fi module 210 and/or the second Wi-Fi module 220 to a hotspot with the highest current signal strength in a Wi-Fi profile when detecting that a connection rate of the first Wi-Fi module 210 and/or the second Wi-Fi module 220 is lower than a preset value.

In this embodiment, the data module 250 is connected to the service unit 243, and when the mobile terminal successfully connects to the Wi-Fi hotspot, the data module 250 detects network conditions of the first Wi-Fi module 210 and the second Wi-Fi module 220 through the service unit 243, and determines the quality of the network according to a preset value. When detecting that the connection rate of the first Wi-Fi module 210 and/or the second Wi-Fi module 220 is lower than a preset value, switching the first Wi-Fi module 210 and/or the second Wi-Fi module 220 to a hotspot with the highest current signal strength in a Wi-Fi configuration file, that is, disconnecting a link with a low rate, and automatically finding a hotspot with a current rate higher than the preset value in the searched Wi-Fi configuration file for connection. And if the Wi-Fi configuration file does not have the hot spot with the speed greater than the preset value, all data pass through the Wi-Fi module with the speed greater than or equal to the preset value so as to ensure the normal internet surfing of the user.

If the connection speed of the first Wi-Fi module 210 and the second Wi-Fi module 220 is higher than or equal to a preset value, the data module can distribute the internet-surfing data to two paths of WIFI in a balanced manner, so that the maximum internet-surfing speed is obtained, and the internet-surfing experience of the user is improved.
