It is described a network connection method and a user equipment, and relates to the field of network technologies. The method includes: scanning two-dimensional code provided by an access point device, to obtain data of a target access point; obtaining a configuration description file according to the data of the target access point, the configuration description file being used to connect to the target access point; and installing the configuration description file, and after detecting the target access point, connecting to the target access point according to the configuration description file. In embodiments of the present invention, a configuration description file of a closed system is generated by using data of a target access point in two-dimensional code, so that the data of the target access point may be installed in the system by using the configuration description file.
