Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a network connection method performed by a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal acquires a graphic code on a user-specified intelligent device after receiving a graphic code recognition instruction. The mobile terminal then displays a network connection interface based on the acquired graphic code for configuring a target wireless access point identifier and a target wireless access point password. After receiving a configuration completion instruction through the network connection interface, the mobile terminal sends a user-specified intelligent device identifier, a user-specified target wireless access point identifier, and a user-specified target wireless access point password to a server, so that the user-specified intelligent device can establish a network connection to a target wireless access point. In the present disclosure, the network connection to the target wireless access point is established without the user-specified intelligent device entering a monitoring mode, thereby improving the efficiency of the network connection.
