Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for a device to access a network, an access point, a network access device, and a system. The method includes: generating, by an access point, a broadcast frame, where the broadcast frame includes feature information of a network access device; and the feature information is used for indicating a feature of the network access device; and broadcasting, by the access point, the broadcast frame, so that a specific network access device initiates a network access procedure to the access point; where the specific network access device is a network access device which receives the broadcast frame and has the feature indicated by the feature information. By adopting the present invention, contention collisions among network access devices can be reduced through a manner of accessing a network in batches.
