Claim 14:
15. A gateway device, comprising:
a Wi-Fi component, configured to transmit and receive probe request frames;
a processor;
a memory, configured to store instructions executable by the processor;
a prompt component, configured to issue a networking prompt; and
a button, configured to receive a networking instruction from a user in response to the networking prompt,
wherein the processor is configured to:
control the prompt component to issue the networking prompt in response to a received probe request frame indicating that a gateway device to be connected meets a networking condition;
receive the networking instruction from the button;
establish a Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) connection with the gateway device to be connected in response to the networking instruction; and
synchronize networking configurations to the gateway device to be connected through the WPS connection, so that the gateway device to be connected is connected to the Mesh network based on the networking configurations;
wherein the processor is further configured to:
issue a networking prompt, in response to monitoring no probe request frame, and receiving a device discovery event synchronized by other connected gateway device in the Mesh network, wherein the device discovery event is configured to indicate that the gateway device to be connected that meets the networking condition has been found; and
transmit the networking instruction to the other connected gateway device that synchronizes the device discovery event, in response to the networking instruction triggered by itself, wherein the other connected gateway device that synchronizes the device discovery event is configured to establish the WPS connection with the gateway device to be connected based on the networking instruction, and synchronize the networking configurations.
