The present disclosure, pertaining to the field of network technologies, relates to a network connection method and a network connection apparatus. The method includes: searching (101) for a predetermined wireless access point; reading (102) terminal information of a terminal if the predetermined wireless access point is discovered, the terminal information comprising a terminal identifier and a terminal media access control (MAC) address of the terminal; and sending (103) the terminal information to the predetermined wireless access point, such that the predetermined wireless access point forwards the terminal information to a network provision server whereupon the network provision server stores the terminal identifier and adds the terminal MAC address into a network access white list in the predetermined wireless access point, thereby implementing network connection of the terminal. The apparatus includes: an access point searching module (310), an information reading module (330), and an information sending module.
