Abstract
Embodiments of this application relate to the field of terminal technologies and disclose a method for automatically enabling an access point function and a relay function, and an electronic device. After an electronic device is powered on, if the electronic device is connected to a wired network and does not use the network within preset duration, an AP mode is enabled; or if the electronic device is connected to a wireless network and does not use the network within preset duration, a repeater mode is enabled. The AP function and the relay function can be automatically enabled on the electronic device such as a personal computer or a smart screen, and an existing device of a consumer can be set as an AP or a repeater. The consumer does not need to buy a dedicated AP or repeater. This improves Wi-Fi use experience of the consumer.
