Claim Text:
1. A method for setting a network node location, wherein the method is applied in a router in a ZigBee network, the method comprising: acquiring, by the router, a network parameter of at least one network device in a network connecting to the router, wherein the network parameter is used to indicate connection performance of a link between the network devices; calculating a number of network parameters meeting a predefined threshold condition; mapping the number of the network parameters meeting the predefined threshold condition to corresponding indication information, wherein the indication information indicates deployment performance of the router in the network, wherein a first indication information indicates acceptable deployment performance, and wherein a second indication information indicates unacceptable deployment performance; and providing the indication information for a user, wherein the indication information is used to instruct the user to set a location for the router in the network, wherein the second indication information indicates unacceptable deployment performance when the number of network parameters meeting the predefined threshold condition indicates that a density of network devices in the ZigBee network is unacceptably high with the router in a current location in the network.
