Abstract
A method for controlling an access point in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a communication system, the method includes: authenticating an access point; after the authentication succeeds, delivering an access controller list to the access point; the access point selecting an access controller from the access controller list according to a preset rule, and communicating with the selected access controller. Only in the case that the access point is successfully authenticated is the access controller list sent to the successfully-authenticated access point, thus solving the problem that the information of the access controller is leaked out because of delivering the access controller list to an illegitimately-set access point, and ensuring the security of network device information.
