Methods for performing network configuration on apparatus and network configuration systems are provided. The method includes: receiving a network configuration request sent by a network configuration application, wherein the network configuration request includes hotspot information of an online hotspot; generating a hotspot switching command based on the network configuration request; and sending the hotspot switching command to an apparatus needing network configuration through a network configuration hotspot, to make the apparatus switch a hotspot that the apparatus currently connects to from the network configuration hotspot to the online hotspot.

Methods for performing network configuration on apparatus and network configuration systems

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and devices for accessing a network hotspot device by an unconfigured device. The network hotspot device is configured to create a first hotspot and a second hotspot. The method can include reporting, by the unconfigured device, device information of the unconfigured device to one or more network hotspot devices through the first hotspot of the one or more network hotspot devices for sending the device information to a server. One or more user terminals corresponding to the one or more network hotspot devices sends a configuration request for the unconfigured device to the server, the server determines that the user terminal of which the configuration request is first received by the server is a target user terminal and sends a configuration response message to the target user terminal, the target user terminal enables the unconfigured device to access the second hotspot of a target network hotspot device corresponding to the target user terminal after receiving the configuration response message. The method can also include accessing, by the unconfigured device, the second hotspot of the target network hotspot device.

Method and device for accessing a network hotspot device by an unconfigured device

Methods for performing network configuration on apparatus and network configuration systems are provided. The method includes connecting, by an apparatus, to a network configuration hotspot provided by a router; sending first apparatus information of the apparatus to a server through the network configuration hotspot; receiving a hotspot switching command sent by the server according to the first apparatus information, wherein the hotspot switching command includes hotspot information of an online hotspot; and when a designated network configuration condition is met, connecting to the online hotspot based on the hotspot switching command to complete the network configuration of the apparatus.
