Abstract
A method for guiding a smart device to connect to a wireless network includes that the smart device sends a device identifier (ID) and a cloud service address that are of the smart device to a control terminal. The control terminal obtains, from a corresponding cloud server based on the received device ID and the cloud service address, network configuration information for the smart device to connect to the wireless network, determines, based on the network configuration information, a management application that is of the smart device and that is provided by a manufacturer, and then downloads the management application. After the download is complete, the control terminal sends the obtained network configuration information to the management application. The management application uses the network configuration information to guide the smart device to connect to the wireless network.
