A topology path obtaining method of a mesh network and a system configured to obtain a topology path of the mesh network are provided. In the method, a topology query packet transmitting step is performed to configure a root access point to transmit a topology query packet to a plurality of extended access points. A topology response packet transmitting step is performed to configure each of the extended access points to transmit a first topology response packet to the root access point according to the topology query packet. A topology path generating step is performed to configure the root access point to collect and process a plurality of the first topology response packets and a second topology response packet to generate the topology path. The topology path includes a connection relationship between at least one client device and one of the root access point and the extended access points.

Topology path obtaining method of mesh network and system thereof

A configuration synchronization method includes a first extender network device transmitting an extender configuration version to a root network device; the root network device determining whether the extender configuration version is the same as a second root configuration version currently owned by the root network device; and when the extender configuration version is different from the second root configuration version, the root network device transmitting the second root configuration version and a plurality of root network configurations corresponding to the second root configuration version to the first extender network device; a first extender network device updating a plurality of extender network configurations thereof to be the plurality of root network configurations, and updating the extender configuration version thereof to be the second root configuration version.
