A method and apparatus for network switching are disclosed in the present application. The present application contributes to accelerate network switching. In the method, an Access Controller (AC) of Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) receives an association request message sent by a first User Equipment (UE), and the association request message comprises the identity of the first UE; according to the identity of the first UE, the AC, from the control node of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), acquires the access authentication of the first UE through the 3GPP network; after the AC acquires that the first UE has passed the access authentication, the AC negotiates with the first UE of the cryptographic key required by the first UE to access the WLAN. |
