Abstract
The present disclosure describes promoting roaming of a wireless terminal in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The AP obtains signal quality and/or data transmission quality of the wireless terminal periodically, and determines whether the obtained signal quality and/or data transmission quality of the wireless terminal satisfies a predetermined threshold. Upon determining that the predetermined threshold is not satisfied, the AP proactively sends a probe response frame to the wireless terminal. The probe response frame notifies the wireless terminal of a wireless signal strength of the AP to promote roaming to a neighboring AP.
