Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods, apparatuses and systems for monitoring a network connectivity status of an enrollee device. According to one exemplary method, a configurator device acquires at least one channel. The configurator device sends a request packet to the enrollee device using the at least one channel. The request packet can include at least one of: a first request packet for querying whether the enrollee device is connected to a hotspot, a second request packet for querying whether there is a network failure in the enrollee device, or a third request packet for querying a hotspot list of all hotspots found by the enrollee device. The configurator device can acquire network information of the enrollee device according to a corresponding reply packet returned by the enrollee device. Accordingly, a user can determine whether an enrollee device is connected to a network, and the connectivity status of the enrollee device.
