Description

Method, device and system for connecting router

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for connecting a router.

Background

With the development of wireless network communication technologies, such as the development of wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN) technologies, the seventh generation Wi-Fi wireless network (i.e., wi-Fi 7) is gradually becoming the next generation main wireless network communication technology. Seventh generation Wi-Fi wireless networks may be up to 30 gigabits per second (Gbits) up to three times the maximum 9.6 gigabits per second (Gbps) rate of the sixth generation Wi-Fi wireless networks (i.e., wi-Fi 6). Compared with Wi-Fi 6, wi-Fi 7 can support 16 data streams at most, and Wi-Fi 7 can additionally support a 6GHz frequency band besides the traditional two frequency bands of 2.4 GHz (GHz) and 5GHz, and the three frequency bands can work simultaneously.

However, the Wi-Fi 7 protocol is not mature at present, so that the problem of poor network quality of the mobile phone due to the compatibility problem of the Wi-Fi 7 protocol (such as the compatibility problem with other protocols or device hardware) may occur, so that the internet surfing experience of the user is poor.

Disclosure of Invention

The method, the device and the system for connecting the router can effectively control risks of poor network quality and the like caused by compatibility problems of the first preset Wi-Fi protocol, and improve Internet surfing experience of users.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for connecting a router, including: the electronic equipment receives a preset frame sent by a preset router, wherein the preset router supports a first preset Wi-Fi protocol, and a preset identifier of the preset router is carried in the preset frame; if the preset identifier meets a first preset condition, the electronic equipment and the preset router establish connection based on a first preset Wi-Fi protocol; if the preset identifier Fu Manzu is a second preset condition, the electronic device establishes a connection with the preset router based on a second preset Wi-Fi protocol.

Based on the method provided by the application, after the electronic equipment receives the preset frame which is sent by the preset router and carries the preset identifier, the electronic equipment can actively establish connection with the preset router based on the first preset Wi-Fi protocol or the second preset Wi-Fi protocol according to whether the preset identifier meets the first preset condition or the second preset condition. Therefore, risks brought by the first preset Wi-Fi protocol can be effectively controlled, reliability of connection between the electronic equipment and the preset router is improved, and the problems of poor network quality of the mobile phone and the like caused by the compatibility of the first preset Wi-Fi protocol are reduced.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the preset identifier meeting the first preset condition includes: the preset identifier is in the white list and/or the preset identifier is not in the black list; the preset identifier Fu Manzu second preset condition includes: the preset identifier is in the blacklist and/or the preset identifier is not in the whitelist. Based on this, if the preset identifier of the preset router is in the white list and/or the preset identifier is not in the black list, the electronic device establishes a connection with the preset router based on the first preset Wi-Fi protocol. If the preset identifier of the preset router is in the blacklist and/or the preset identifier is not in the whitelist, the electronic device establishes connection with the preset router based on a second preset Wi-Fi protocol. That is, the electronic device may adaptively select an appropriate Wi-Fi protocol according to the specific situation of the preset router to establish a connection with the preset router. Therefore, risks brought by the first preset Wi-Fi protocol can be effectively controlled, reliability of connection between the electronic equipment and the preset router is improved, and the problems of poor network quality of the mobile phone and the like caused by the compatibility of the first preset Wi-Fi protocol are reduced.

In another possible implementation of the first aspect, the second preset Wi-Fi protocol has a lower version than the first preset Wi-Fi protocol. Based on this, if the preset identifier of the preset router is in the white list and/or the preset identifier is not in the black list, the electronic device establishes a connection with the preset router based on the first preset Wi-Fi protocol. If the preset identifier of the preset router is in the blacklist and/or the preset identifier is not in the whitelist, the electronic device establishes a connection with the preset router based on a second preset Wi-Fi protocol lower than the first preset Wi-Fi protocol. That is, if the preset identifier of the preset router is not in the white list, the electronic device may select a lower version of Wi-Fi protocol to establish a connection with the preset router. Therefore, the situation that the electronic equipment is incompatible with the preset router can be reduced, the electronic equipment can actively and dynamically select a more proper Wi-Fi protocol for the connection between the electronic equipment and the preset router, and the reliability of the connection between the electronic equipment and the preset router is improved.

In another possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the routers corresponding to the whitelist satisfy one or more of the following conditions: the multi-link aggregation technology MLO connection of the router meets a first preset sub-condition, the wireless roaming between the router and the test router meets a second preset sub-condition, and the streaming rate of the router is larger than the preset rate.

Based on the method provided by the application, if the preset router meets one or more of the following conditions: the MLO connection of the router meets a first preset sub-condition, the wireless roaming between the router and the test router meets a second preset sub-condition, the streaming rate of the router is larger than the preset rate, and then the electronic equipment can establish connection with the preset router based on a first preset Wi-Fi protocol after receiving a preset frame sent by the preset router. That is, in the case where the preset router satisfies a certain condition, the electronic device may establish a connection with the preset router based on a first preset Wi-Fi protocol that is higher in version than the second preset Wi-Fi protocol. Therefore, the probability of the problem of poor network quality of the mobile phone and the like due to the compatibility problem of the first preset Wi-Fi protocol can be reduced, and the network quality of a user when using the mobile phone is improved.

In another possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the router corresponding to the blacklist satisfies any one of the following conditions: the MLO connection of the router does not meet a first preset sub-condition, the wireless roaming between the router and the test router does not meet a second preset sub-condition, and the streaming rate of the router is smaller than the preset rate.

Based on the method provided by the application, if the preset router meets any one of the following conditions: the MLO connection of the router does not meet the first preset sub-condition, the wireless roaming between the router and the test router does not meet the second preset sub-condition, and the streaming rate of the router is smaller than the preset rate, so that the electronic equipment can establish connection with the preset router based on the second preset Wi-Fi protocol after receiving the preset frame sent by the preset router. That is, in the case where the preset router does not satisfy a certain condition, the electronic device may establish a connection with the preset router based on a second preset Wi-Fi protocol that is lower in version than the first preset Wi-Fi protocol. Therefore, the probability of the problem of poor network quality of the mobile phone and the like due to the compatibility problem of the first preset Wi-Fi protocol can be reduced, the network quality of a user when using the mobile phone is improved, and the reliability of connection between the electronic equipment and the preset router is improved.

In another possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the electronic device adds the preset identifier to the white list in response to a first preset operation; and/or the electronic equipment responds to the second preset operation and adds the preset identification to the blacklist. Based on this, if the preset identifier is not in the white list or the black list, but the user wants to add the preset identifier to the white list or the black list, the electronic device may add the preset identifier to the white list or the black list in response to the second preset operation. Therefore, the flexibility of the white list mechanism of the router on the electronic equipment side is improved, and the diversity of the connection process of the electronic equipment and the preset router supporting the first preset Wi-Fi protocol is improved.

In another possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the white list is stored under a first preset directory of the electronic device; the blacklist is stored under a second preset directory of the electronic equipment. Based on the above, after the electronic device receives the preset frame sent by the preset router supporting the first preset Wi-Fi protocol, the electronic device can actively and dynamically select the first preset Wi-Fi protocol or the second preset Wi-Fi protocol to establish connection with the preset router according to the relation between the preset identifier and the white list under the first preset directory or the black list under the second preset directory. Therefore, the probability of the problem of poor network quality of the mobile phone and the like due to the compatibility problem of the first preset Wi-Fi protocol can be reduced, the network quality of a user when using the mobile phone is improved, and the reliability of connection between the electronic equipment and the preset router is improved.

Based on this, when the identifier of the router included in the white list or the black list is changed (e.g., increased or decreased), the white list under the first preset directory or the black list under the second preset directory is updated by updating the third installation package or the fourth installation package acquired at the time of the operating system. Therefore, the white list or the black list is dynamically configured, and the flexibility and operability of configuring the white list or the black list to the electronic equipment are improved.

In another possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the electronic device receives a first preset configuration file sent by a preset electronic device, and updates a white list according to the first preset configuration file, where the first preset configuration file includes a second preset white list; and/or the electronic equipment receives a second preset configuration file sent by the preset electronic equipment, and updates the blacklist according to the second preset configuration file, wherein the second preset configuration file comprises the second preset blacklist. Based on this, when the identifier of the router included in the white list or the black list is changed (e.g., increased or decreased), the white list under the first preset directory or the black list under the second preset directory is updated by receiving the first preset profile or the second preset profile sent by the preset electronic device. Therefore, the white list or the black list is dynamically configured, and the flexibility and operability of configuring the white list or the black list to the electronic equipment are improved.

Terminology related to the invention:

wireless network communication technology (Wi-Fi): also referred to as "mobile hotspot" in chinese, is a wireless local area network technology created in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Wi-Fi 7: wi-Fi 7 is in accordance with IEEE Specification 802.11be-Extremely High Throughput (ETH).

Access Point (AP): providing wireless access services, allowing other wireless devices to access, providing data access, and general wireless routing/bridging functions in this mode. The AP and the AP allow for interconnection.

Station (STA): like a wireless terminal, the STA itself does not accept wireless access, it may connect to the AP, and the general wireless network card operates in this mode.

Organization unique identifier (Organizationally Unique Identifier, OUI): unique identifiers issued to various organizations.

Wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN): the wireless communication technology is used for interconnecting computer equipment to form a network system which can communicate with each other and realize resource sharing. The wireless local area network is essentially characterized in that a computer is connected with a network without using a communication cable, and is connected in a wireless mode, so that the construction of the network and the movement of a terminal are more flexible.

It should be noted that, multi-Link Operation (MLO) is a very core feature in WiFi 7 technology. ML0 may create bundles or bindings of multiple links (radios) in different bands and channels as one virtual link between connecting network nodes (e.g., APs and STAs). Wi-Fi-7 MLO is a physical layer solution, can communicate through aggregating a plurality of channels on different frequency bands, and based on Wi-Fi-7 MLO, even if the frequency bands are interfered or congestion occurs, data can be transmitted seamlessly, so that faster and more reliable network connection is realized. For example, wiFi 7MLO may implement one device (e.g., a cell phone) to connect to multiple WiFi hotspots simultaneously, such as 2.4g+5g. As shown in fig. 1 (a), multiple links, e.g., link 1 (2.4G), link 1 (5G), and link 3 (6G), may be established between an access point and a station. As shown in fig. 1 (b), the Wi-Fi link of the network may be dynamically switched, when one of the Wi-Fi links encounters interference, the Wi-Fi link of the other Wi-Fi link may be dynamically switched to, for example, when the link 1 encounters interference, the Wi-Fi link may be dynamically switched to the link 2, thereby realizing lower network delay.

It will be appreciated that there is a certain risk in currently applying Wi-Fi7 protocols, for reasons including: the current MLO STA mode supporting Wi-Fi7 protocol is not commercially available in the industry; hardware compatibility problems, such as no router supporting Wi-Fi 7MLO mode at present, ecologically immature; there may be protocol compatibility issues between Wi-Fi7 protocol and Wi-Fi6 protocol or Wi-Fi5 protocol, etc.

In some embodiments, when a certain preset router supports the WiFi 7 protocol, the mobile phone may establish a connection with the preset router based on the WiFi 7 protocol, as shown in (a) of fig. 2, the mobile phone may display an icon 201 of "Wi-Fi 7" to prompt the user that the mobile phone has established a connection with the preset router based on the WiFi 7 protocol. However, since there may be a problem of compatibility between the Wi-Fi7 protocol and the Wi-Fi6 protocol and the Wi-Fi5 protocol at present, when the mobile phone directly establishes a connection with the preset router through the Wi-Fi7 protocol, roaming abnormality between the preset router and other routers not supporting the WiFi 7 protocol may occur due to the problem of compatibility of the Wi-Fi7 protocol, and a problem of poor network quality of the mobile phone may also occur, when the network quality of the mobile phone is poor, the text 202 may be displayed on the mobile phone, that is, "the current network is unstable, please check your network setting" to prompt the user that the current network quality is poor.

In order to effectively control risks brought by the WiFi 7 protocol, improve reliability of connection between the wireless access point and the station, reduce occurrence of problems such as poor quality of the mobile phone network caused by compatibility of the WiFi 7 protocol, in other embodiments, a set of whitelist mechanism about routers supporting the WiFi 7 protocol may be established on the mobile phone side in advance. If the preset router is in the white list, the mobile phone can establish connection with the router based on the WiFi 7 protocol; if the default router is not on the white list, the handset may establish a connection with the router based on other versions of the WiFi protocol (e.g., wiFi 6 protocol). Assuming that the preset router is not in the white list, when the handset establishes a connection with the router based on the WiFi 6 protocol, the handset may display an icon 203 of "Wi-Fi 6" to prompt the user that the handset has established a connection with the preset router based on the WiFi 6 protocol, as shown in (b) of fig. 2. After the handset establishes a connection with the router based on the WiFi 6 protocol, the network quality of the handset may be better. When the network quality of the mobile phone is good, the text 204, i.e. "the current network is good", can be displayed on the mobile phone to prompt the user that the current network quality is good.

As an example, the preset router may periodically broadcast beacon frames at certain time intervals to tell other electronic devices (e.g., cell phones) about the presence of their own wireless networks so that other electronic devices may join the network. The beacon frame carries a preset identifier of a preset router.

802. The mobile phone detects that the user turns on the Wi-Fi function of the mobile phone.

Illustratively, as shown in (a) of fig. 9, in response to a user clicking on the "set" icon 901, the handset may display a "set" interface, as shown in (b) of fig. 9. The "settings" interface may include, among other things, the text "WLAN settings" 902, the text "display and brightness", and the text "other settings". In response to the user clicking on the word "WLAN settings" 902, the handset may display an interface for "WLAN settings" as shown in fig. 9 (c). Wherein a button 903 may be included on the interface of "WLAN setup".

In one possible design of the related art, in response to the user clicking on button 903, the handset may display another interface for "WLAN setup" as shown in fig. 9 (d), which may include information on the currently available networks of the handset. The network identifier of each network in the information of the currently available networks of the mobile phone may include, but is not limited to, a device model, a device ID (Identity document), a user-defined name (e.g., a router in a living room, a router in the third party, a router 1 in the third party, a mobile phone in the third party, etc.).

In this embodiment of the present application, after the Wi-Fi function of the mobile phone is turned on, the electronic device may receive a preset frame sent from a preset router, where the preset router supports a first preset Wi-Fi protocol, and the preset frame carries a preset identifier of the preset router. The preset frame may include, but is not limited to, a beacon frame and/or a detection reply frame.

The handset may send a detection Request (Probe Request) frame to surrounding preset routers to obtain (also referred to as scan) a detection response (Probe response) frame carrying its identifier, which is returned to the preset router. The Probe Response frame is used to reply to a Probe Request frame, which may be a frame that the handset uses to scan for available networks around. If the preset router broadcasts the beacon frame carrying the identifier, the mobile phone can also receive the beacon frame carrying the identifier sent by the preset router, wherein the information sent by the preset router and received by the mobile phone can comprise the following information:

Tag:Vendor Specific:Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Tag length:6

OUI:00:e0:4c(Realtek Semiconductor

Vendor Specific OUI Type:2

Vendor Specific Data:020160

wherein, "OUI:00:e0:4c "901 may indicate that the OUI fields in the beacon frame include: 00:e0:4c. "00:e0:4c" may be the OUI of router 1. That is, the mobile phone receives the information broadcast by the preset router with the OUI of "00:e0:4c".

In one possible design of the present application, the mobile phone can determine the comparison result by comparing the OUI stored in the white list OUI _allowed_list with the OUI of the router carried in the received beacon frame or Probe Response frame.

Wherein, the comparison result can indicate: OUI of router 1: 00:e0:4c and OUI of router 2: 00:a0:4c are both in the white list, i.e., router 1 and router 2 are the routers corresponding to the white list. The comparison indicates the OUI of router 3: 00:b0:4c, OUI of router 4: 00:c0:4c, OUI of router 5: neither router 3 nor router 4 nor router 5 is a white list corresponding router, i.e., 00:d0:4c is not in the white list.

The comparison result may also indicate: the comparison indicates the OUI of router 3: 00:b0:4c is in the blacklist, i.e. router 3 is the router to which the blacklist corresponds. The comparison indicates the OUI of router 1: 00:e0:4c, OUI of router 2: 00:a0:4c, OUI of router 4: 00:c0:4c, OUI of router 5: 00:d0:4c are not in the blacklist, i.e., neither router 1, router 2, router 4, nor router 5 are routers in the whitelist.

In this embodiment of the present application, after comparing the preset identifier of the received preset router with the white list, if the OUI of the preset router is in the white list and/or is not in the black list, the mobile phone may establish connection with the preset router based on the second Wi-Fi protocol; if the OUI of the router is in the blacklist and/or is not in the whitelist, the mobile phone can establish a connection with the preset router based on the first Wi-Fi protocol.

As shown in fig. 12 (d), a prompt 1208 may be displayed on the handset, i.e. "added, please restart the handset or WLAN". Of course, in some examples, it may not be necessary to reboot the handset or WLAN.

In another specific implementation manner of the present application, taking the preset operation as an example, as shown in (a) of fig. 13, the network information of the router 3 may be displayed in the area 1301 of the mobile phone screen; the network information of the router 5 may be displayed on the area 1302 of the cell phone screen. The region 1301 may display an icon 1303 of Wi-Fi 7 capability corresponding to the identifier "routing model 3" of the router 3 and an icon of "Wi-Fi 6" corresponding to the identifier "routing model 3" of the router 3. An icon 1304 of router 5 identifying Wi-Fi 7 capabilities corresponding to "route model 5" and an icon of router 5 identifying "Wi-Fi 6" corresponding to "route model 5" may be displayed on area 1302. In response to the user clicking on the Wi-Fi 7 capability icon 1303 of router 3 that identifies "route model 3" as corresponding to the area 1301, a pop-up window 1305 may be displayed on the cell phone, and a prompt text "is required to be added to the Wi-Fi 7 whitelist? "yes" button, no "button. The mobile phone may respond to the user performing the preset touch operation, i.e. clicking the button "yes", as shown in (c) of fig. 13, and a prompt message 1306 may be displayed on the mobile phone, i.e. "added, please restart the mobile phone or WLAN".

It should be noted that, in response to the user adding router 3 to the white list, the handset may add the OUI of router 3: 00:b0:4c to white list. The updated whitelist may include: 00:e0:4c, 00:a0:4c and 00:b0:4c. After the user restarts the handset or restarts the Wi-Fi function of the handset (e.g., restarts the switch of the WLAN), the text "router 3" and its corresponding icon of "Wi-Fi 7" may be displayed on the handset in the area 1401, and the identifier "routing model 5" of the router 5 and its corresponding icon of "Wi-Fi 6" may be displayed on the area 1402, as shown in (a) of fig. 14. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 14 (b), an icon of the router 3, which identifies "route model 3" and the corresponding "Wi-Fi 7", may be displayed on the mobile phone in the area 1403, and network information of the router 5 may be displayed on the area 1404. The network information of the router 5 may include: the router 5 is based on the network information of Wi-Fi 7 protocol and the router 5 is based on the network information of Wi-Fi 6 protocol. A disable icon may be displayed on the area where the network information of the router 5 based on the Wi-Fi 7 protocol is located to indicate that the router 5 is not available.

In a specific implementation manner of the present application, in order to control risks brought by the Wi-Fi 7 protocol, the preset identifier of the preset router is OUI, the preset list is an OUI white list, the first Wi-Fi protocol is the Wi-Fi 7 protocol, the second Wi-Fi protocol is the Wi-Fi 6 protocol, and the preset router may broadcast its identifier (for example, OUI) in a beacon frame (beacon frame). After the user turns on the WI-FI function, the handset may send a Probe Requ est frame to the surrounding preset router to obtain (may also be referred to as scanning) a Probe response (Probe response) frame carrying its identifier, which is returned to the preset router. The mobile phone can compare the OUI of each router carried in the received beacon frame or Probe response frame with the OUI of each router stored in the blacklist. If the OUI of the preset router is in the OUI blacklist, then a connection can be established with the preset router based on Wi-Fi 6 protocol. If the OUI of the preset router is not in the OUI blacklist, connection is established with the preset router based on Wi-Fi 7 protocol.

Based on the method provided by the embodiment of the application, after the mobile phone receives the preset frame carrying the preset identifier sent by the preset router, the mobile phone can actively and dynamically establish connection with the preset router based on the Wi-Fi 7 protocol or the Wi-Fi 6 protocol according to the condition satisfied by the preset identifier.
