Claim 0:
1. A method for Mesh networking, applied to a gateway device connected to a Mesh network, comprising:
monitoring a probe request frame on a target channel, wherein the probe request frame is automatically transmitted on the target channel by a gateway device to be connected in a state of no network configuration;
in response to a monitored probe request frame indicating that the gateway device to be connected meets a networking condition and receiving a networking instruction, establishing a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) connection with the gateway device to be connected; and
synchronizing 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;
the method further comprising:
in response to monitoring no probe request frame, and receiving a device discovery event synchronized by other connected gateway device in the Mesh network, issuing a networking prompt, 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
in response to the networking instruction triggered by itself, transmitting the networking instruction to the other connected gateway device that synchronizes the device discovery event, 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.
