Switching method and device in access point network

The embodiment of the invention provides a switching method and a device in an access point network, and the method comprises the following steps: a source access point determines that switching needs to be carried out; the source access point obtains IP address information of a target access point; the source access point establishes the Iur connection between the source access point and the target access point according to the IP address information; the source access point informs the target access point of establishing a wireless link between the target access point and a user device; and the source access point deletes the wireless link between the source access point and the user device. The embodiment can solve the problem of difficult manual configuration of IP address in the access point network by using the source access point to obtain the IP address; in addition, as the embodiment adopts the soft switching way of firstly establishing the wireless link between the target access point and the user d
