Description

Wireless connection method, electronic device, wireless router and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a wireless connection method, an electronic device, a wireless router, and a storage medium.

Background

As electronic devices become more powerful, users are also focusing on security issues of electronic devices. To protect privacy, the electronic device may use different random private media access control addresses (Media Access Control Address, random MAC addresses) when accessing different wireless access points.

However, management of electronic devices and setting of various functions on wireless routers, such as black and white lists, are typically based on the MAC address of the electronic device, so the use of random MAC addresses will result in the set functions failing.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a wireless connection method, electronic equipment, a wireless router and a storage medium, which can solve the problem that when the electronic equipment is accessed to the wireless router by using a random MAC address, the function of the electronic equipment is set to be invalid on the wireless router.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, the present application provides a wireless connection method, including:

the method comprises the steps that electronic equipment receives first broadcast information sent by a first AP of a first router, wherein the first router comprises the first AP and a second AP;

the electronic equipment sends a first connection request to a first AP of the first router, wherein the first connection request carries a first random MAC address of the electronic equipment;

The electronic equipment receives first response information sent by a first AP of the first router, wherein the first response information carries a first unique identifier of the first AP and a second unique identifier of the second AP;

the electronic equipment stores a first mapping relation between the first random MAC address and the first unique identifier in the first response information and a second mapping relation between the first random MAC address and the second unique identifier in the first response information;

the wireless connection between the electronic equipment and the first AP of the first router is disconnected;

the electronic equipment receives second broadcast information sent by a second AP of the first router, wherein the second broadcast information carries a second unique identifier of the second AP;

the electronic device sends a second connection request to a second AP of the first router, the second connection request carries the first random MAC address corresponding to the second unique identifier carried by the second broadcast information in the second mapping relation, and the second connection request is used for establishing wireless connection with the second AP of the first router.

In the application, when the electronic equipment is connected with an AP on a router for the first time, the generated random MAC address can be carried in a connection request, after the wireless router determines to establish communication connection, a response message sent to the electronic equipment can carry a unique identifier of each AP in the wireless router, and after the electronic equipment receives the response information, the mapping relationship between the generated random MAC address and the unique identifier of each AP in the received response message can be recorded; when the electronic equipment accesses any AP in the same router again, broadcast information sent by the wireless router is received, and the broadcast information generally carries the unique identifier of the AP, so the electronic equipment firstly inquires the stored mapping relation, and if the unique identifier of the AP to be accessed already has the MAC address with the mapping relation, the random MAC address in the mapping relation is adopted to send a connection request, the same MAC address can be adopted when the APs in the same wireless router are connected, and the condition that the function of the wireless router about the MAC address is invalid when the random MAC address is used for connecting the wireless router is reduced.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, the first broadcast information carries a first unique identifier of the first AP, and before the electronic device sends a first connection request to the first AP of the first router, the method further includes:

In the application, the response information sent by the wireless router may be set to store the unique identifier of each AP on the current wireless router, so that the electronic device may repeatedly establish a certain random MAC address and the unique identifier of each AP on the wireless router. Therefore, in order to avoid collision, the mapping relation related to the stored random MAC address can be deleted, and the mapping relation can be built again according to the random MAC address of the wireless connection currently built and the unique identifier in the received response information.

The electronic device determines that the mapping relationship of the first random MAC address is already stored, and does not store the mapping relationship between the first random MAC address and the unique identifier in the second response information.

In general, the MAC address is used as a unique identifier of an electronic device, and it is theoretically possible to distinguish different electronic devices, however, due to the birth of a random MAC address function of the electronic device, a black-and-white list set on a router or device management is disabled.

As an example, referring to fig. 2, the first router is a dual-frequency wireless router including a first AP operating in the 2.4GHz band and a second AP operating in the 5GHz band. Wherein, the first AP transmits a broadcast signal in 2.4GHz frequency band during operation, the broadcast signal carries a basic service set identifier (BSSid) of the first AP, the BSSid is used for representing wireless base station equipment, and the BSSid of different APs is different. And the second AP transmits a broadcast signal in the 5GHz frequency band during operation, and the broadcast signal carries BSSid of the second AP. The mobile phone includes a first module and a second module as one example of an electronic device. The first module works at 2.4GHz, and can receive the broadcast signal of the first AP of the first router when the broadcast signal of the first AP of the first router is within the coverage range of the broadcast signal of the first AP of the first router; the second module operates at 5GHz and may receive the broadcast signal of the second AP of the first router when the broadcast signal of the second AP of the first router is within coverage. The mobile phone can access a first AP of the first router by adopting a first random MAC address; the user may add the first random MAC address to the blacklist of the first router to add the handset to the blacklist. After the mobile phone is disconnected from the first AP (or may not be disconnected), the mobile phone may also access the second AP of the first router using the second random MAC address, but the blacklist on the router fails to use the 5GHz wireless network with the second random MAC address because the first random MAC address is in the blacklist and the second random MAC address is not in the blacklist.

In this example, two mobile phones of the same model are displayed on the device management page of the first router, but the first router cannot determine whether the device corresponding to the first random MAC address and the device corresponding to the second random MAC address are the same device, and referring to fig. 3, in this page, the two devices are the same in model, but the MAC address is not used, one of the two devices displays a network speed limit (speed limit is set based on the first random MAC address), and one displays a network non-speed limit (speed limit is not set based on the second random MAC address), where in practical application, a user may connect the first router using only one mobile phone of the model, so that the user considers that an abnormality occurs.

As another example, referring to fig. 4, the mesh network where the first router is located further includes a second router, where the first router includes one or more APs, and the first AP operates in the 2.4GHz band; the second router includes one or more APs, wherein a third AP operates in the 2.4GHz band. The first module in the mobile phone can access a first AP in the first router by using a first random MAC address, a user adds the first random MAC address to a blacklist to add the mobile phone to the blacklist, and the routers in the mesh network can share the blacklist, namely the blacklist in the second router also comprises the mobile phone corresponding to the first random MAC address; after the mobile phone and the first router are disconnected, the first module of the mobile phone can access the third AP in the second router with the second random MAC address, however, the MAC address in the blacklist shared by the second router is that the first random MAC address does not comprise the second random MAC address, so that the blacklist on the second router fails to provide the mobile phone of the wireless network with the second random MAC address by using the second router.

Of course, the blacklist in the above example is only one example of an application scenario, and in practical application, some whitelists, set child internet surfing protection and the like can fail when the function of taking the MAC address as the unique identifier of the electronic device is required, or can be effective when repeated setting is performed for each random MAC address.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a wireless connection method, when an electronic device accesses any AP in a wireless router for the first time, BSSid of each AP in the wireless router is added in a response message returned by the wireless router, and of course, other information may also be used as unique identifiers of different APs, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application; the electronic device may record a mapping relationship between the random MAC address of the current access wireless router and the BSSid of each AP in the received response message. When the electronic equipment accesses any AP in the same wireless router again, searching a random MAC address corresponding to BSSid of the AP to be accessed from the mapping relation; and accessing the AP to be accessed by the same wireless router by the queried random MAC address.

When the BSSid of each AP in the wireless router is added in the response message, a vendor custom field may be specifically added in the response message, where the content in the field is the BSSid of each AP in the wireless router or other unique identifier of each AP in the wireless router.

When the electronic equipment is firstly accessed to any AP of any wireless router in the mesh network, the BSSid of each AP in each wireless router in the mesh network where the wireless router is positioned is increased in a response message returned by the wireless router connected with the electronic equipment; the electronic device may record the mapping of the random MAC address of the current access wireless router and the BSSid of each AP in each wireless router in the received response message. When the mobile phone accesses any AP of any wireless router in the same mesh network again, searching a random MAC address corresponding to BSSid of the AP to be accessed from the mapping relation; and accessing the AP to be accessed of the wireless router to be accessed in the same mesh network by the queried random MAC address.

When the BSSid of each AP in the mesh network where the wireless router is located is added in the response message, a vendor custom field may be specifically added in the response message, where the content in the field is the BSSid of each AP in the mesh network where the wireless router is located or other unique identifier of each AP in the mesh network where the wireless router is located.

Specifically, the Vendor-customized characteristic of the Vendor Specific field data in the response message may be utilized, that is, BSSid of each AP in the foregoing example is added to the Vendor Specific field. Informing the electronic equipment that the BSSid in the field belongs to the same router or the same mesh network, and adopting the same MAC address when accessing the BSSid.

As an example of the vector Specific field, vendor Specific ID =221 Vendor Specific Len =15value=0xa 069740109 aaaaaabbbbbbbbccccc. Wherein the meaning of each character is referred to in table 1.

TABLE 1 meanings of the individual characters in the Vendor Specific

In practical applications, the number of bits in the Vendor Specific may be reduced or increased according to the number of APs carried. Table 1 shows BSSid carrying 3 APs in the response information.

In order to more clearly understand the wireless connection method provided in the embodiments of the present application, a process of establishing a wireless connection between an electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) and a wireless router will be described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 5, a schematic view of a scenario of a wireless connection method according to an embodiment of the present application is provided.

A1, a first module in the electronic equipment sends a connection request to a first AP of a first router, wherein the connection request carries a first random MAC address of the electronic equipment.

A2, after receiving the connection request and matching, the first router sends a connection response to the electronic equipment, wherein the connection response carries the BSSid of the first AP and the BSSid of the second AP in the first router.

Of course, in practical application, in the case that the first router further includes other APs, the connection response further includes bssils of the other APs, that is, the connection response includes bssils of each AP in the first router.

A3, the electronic device stores the mapping relation between the first random MAC address and the BSSid of the first AP in the received connection response and the mapping relation between the first random MAC address and the BSSid of the second AP.

Of course, in the case where the received connection response further includes BSSid of other AP, it is also necessary to store the mapping relationship between the first random MAC address and BSSid of other AP.

And A4, the first router receives the setting information and adds the first random MAC address to the blacklist based on the setting information.

The wireless connection of the first module of the electronic device and the first AP is disconnected.

And A5, after inquiring the mapping relation, the electronic equipment sends a connection request to a second AP of the first router through a second module, wherein the connection request carries an MAC address corresponding to the BSSid of the second AP in the mapping relation, namely a first random MAC address.

It can be understood from this scenario that when the same electronic device accesses another AP of the same wireless router again, the function set up based on the random MAC address can still be validated by adopting the same random MAC address as when the wireless communication connection is previously established.

To more clearly understand this scenario, a specific implementation procedure is described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 6, a timing diagram of the scenario shown in fig. 5 according to an embodiment of the present application is provided.

S101, the first AP of the first router sends out 2.4GHz broadcast information (which may be denoted as first broadcast information), where the broadcast information carries BSSid1 of the first AP, and the first module of the electronic device receives the broadcast information.

When the electronic device is within the wireless broadcast coverage of the first AP of the first router, the first module of the electronic device may receive the broadcast information of 2.4GHz sent by the first AP of the first router.

In general, the wireless modules in the same frequency band and the APs can communicate with each other, and wireless signals cannot be identified between the wireless modules in different frequency bands and the APs.

When the first module and the second module of the electronic device are in the on state at the same time, the first AP of the first router is in the on state, and the second AP is in the off state, the first module of the electronic device can receive broadcast information sent by the first AP.

When the first module of the electronic device is in an on state and the second module is in an off state, the first AP and the second AP of the second router are simultaneously on, and the first module of the electronic device can receive broadcast information sent by the first AP.

When the first module and the second module of the electronic device are in the on state at the same time, the first AP and the second AP of the first router are in the on state at the same time, the first module of the electronic device can receive the broadcast information sent by the first AP, and the second module of the electronic device can receive the broadcast information sent by the second AP.

In the embodiment of the present application, in step S101 to step S107, the first AP and the second AP of the first router are both turned on, and the first module of the electronic device is turned on, and the second module is turned off as an example.

S102, a first module of the electronic equipment receives an instruction for connecting a first AP.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can operate on the electronic device, and the first module on the electronic device receives the instruction of connecting the first AP.

Of course, in a specific implementation, the first module of the electronic device may receive the broadcast information sent by the first AP, the second module may receive the broadcast information sent by the second AP, and the user may also operate on the electronic device to trigger the electronic device to establish wireless connection with the second AP, so that the second module on the electronic device receives the instruction for connecting with the second AP.

S103, a first module of the electronic equipment queries a mapping table, and the query result is: the MAC address corresponding to BSSid1 in the broadcast information is not queried.

Under the condition that the MAC address corresponding to the BSSid1 in the broadcast information is queried in the mapping table stored in the electronic equipment, the situation that the electronic equipment establishes wireless connection with the first router before, and the mapping relation between the random MAC address used when the wireless connection is established before and the BSSid of the AP on the first router is stored; under the condition that the MAC address corresponding to the BSSid1 in the broadcast information is not queried in the mapping table stored in the electronic equipment, the situation that the electronic equipment establishes wireless connection with the first router before, however, the mapping relation between the random MAC address used when the wireless connection is established before and the BSSid of the AP on the first router is not stored is explained; or the electronic device and the first router are first connected.

S104, the first module of the electronic equipment generates a first random MAC address under the condition that the MAC address corresponding to BSSid1 in the broadcast information is not queried.

It should be noted that, the steps S102 to S104 may also be implemented by other software functional modules in the electronic device other than the first module, and the execution modules of the steps S102 to S104 are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

S105, the first module of the electronic device sends a connection request (which may be denoted as a first connection request) to the first router, where the connection request carries the generated first random MAC address.

And S106, after receiving and matching the connection request, the first AP in the first router sends out a response message (which can be marked as first response information) carrying BSSid1 (which can be marked as first unique identification) of the first AP and BSSid2 (which can be marked as second unique identification) of the second AP.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the first router further includes other APs, the response message carries BSSid of the other APs.

S107, after receiving the response message, the first module of the electronic device establishes a mapping relationship (which may be denoted as a first mapping relationship) between the first random MAC address and the BSSid1 of the first AP in the response message, and a mapping relationship (which may be denoted as a second mapping relationship) between the first random MAC address and the BSSid2 of the second AP.

Similarly, the step of establishing the mapping relationship in step S107 may also be implemented by other software functional modules in the electronic device.

In a subsequent step, the user may add the first random MAC address to the blacklist on the first router or set other MAC address related functions.

In the following, the wireless connection between the first module of the electronic device and the first AP of the first router may also be disconnected, for example, the user carries the electronic device out of the coverage area of the wireless signal of the first AP of the first router, and the wireless connection between the first module of the electronic device and the first AP of the first router will be disconnected.

In the following steps S201 to S206 in this embodiment, the first AP and the second AP of the first router are both turned on, and the first module of the electronic device is turned off, and the second module is turned on as an example.

S204, the second module of the electronic equipment sends a connection request (which can be recorded as a second connection request) to the first router under the condition that the MAC address corresponding to BSSid2 in the broadcast information is inquired, wherein the connection request carries the inquired first random MAC address.

S205, after receiving and matching the connection request, the second AP in the first router sends out a response message (which may be denoted as second response information), where the response message carries BSSid1 of the first AP and BSSid2 of the second AP.

S206, the second module of the electronic equipment has previously queried the mapping relation of the first random MAC address, and the mapping relation is not established any more.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the mapping relationship of the first random MAC address that establishes the communication connection at this time already exists in the electronic device, the mapping relationship may not be repeatedly established.

Of course, in practical application, step S206 may be replaced by step S206'.

S206', after receiving the response message, the second module of the electronic device establishes a mapping relationship between the first random MAC address and the BSSid1 of the first AP in the response message, and a mapping relationship between the first random MAC address and the BSSid2 of the second AP, and covers (can be understood as deleting) the mapping relationship of the original first random MAC address.

In this embodiment, after a new AP is added to the first router, a mapping relationship between a random MAC address, which has been previously wirelessly connected, and the new AP may be established.

In this way, even if the electronic device is connected to another AP in the first router through the second module, since the same random MAC address is used, the electronic device is also on the side of the first router and therefore some functions using the MAC address setting will not fail.

In the above embodiment, taking the working frequency bands of the first AP and the first module as 2.4GHz and the working frequency bands of the second AP and the second module as 5GHz as an example, in practical application, the method may also be: the working frequency band of the first AP and the first module is 5GHz, and the working frequency band of the second AP and the second module is 2.4GHz. Of course, the working frequency bands of the first AP, the first module, the second AP and the second module may be 5GHz or 2.4GHz.

In this embodiment, after a new router is added to the mesh network where the second router is located, the AP of the router newly added to the mesh network may also establish a mapping relationship with the first random MAC address by reestablishing the mapping relationship of the current random MAC address and covering the mapping relationship of the random MAC address that has been established before. Similarly, after the router is removed from the mesh network where the second router is located, the mapping relation between the current random MAC address is re-established, and the mapping relation of the random MAC address which is established before is covered, so that the mapping relation between the AP of the removed router in the mesh network and the first random MAC address can be covered.

In this way, even if the electronic device is connected to another router (taking the second router as an example) in the mesh network where the first router is located through the first module, since the same random MAC address is adopted, the electronic device is also in the blacklist on the second router side, and therefore, some functions adopting the MAC address setting will not fail. And the router newly added into the mesh network can be added into the mapping relation, and the mapping relation of the newly removed router in the mesh network can be covered.

Of course, the first AP of the first router in the same mesh network may be 2.4GHz, and the third AP of the second router may be 5GHz. And a first module with the working frequency band of 2.4GHz in the electronic equipment is in wireless connection with the first AP, and a second module with the working frequency band of 5GHz in the electronic equipment is in wireless connection with the third AP.

Alternatively, the first AP of the first router in the same mesh network may be 5GHz, and the third AP of the second router may be 2.4GHz. And a first module with the working frequency band of 5GHz in the electronic equipment is in wireless connection with the first AP, and a second module with the working frequency band of 2.4GHz in the electronic equipment is in wireless connection with the third AP.
