Abstract

A method for switching frequency band in a mesh network including a plurality of access points is provided. The method includes turning off one of two communication ports of a second backhaul station of an idle node when the idle node is in an on-boarding phase and the two communication ports are turned on, so that the idle node joins the mesh network by communicatively connecting to a first backhaul station of one of the access points through the turned on communication port. The two communication ports operate in different frequency bands. A first fronthaul station of each of the access points is configured to provide a communication connection for at least one user terminal. A second fronthaul station of the idle node is configured to provide a communication connection for the at least one user terminal after the idle node joins the mesh network.
