A wireless network handover method and apparatus are provided, relating to the communications field, and capable of resolving a problem of a service packet loss during a handover of a terminal. The method includes: obtaining, by a handover device, a distance between a terminal and a current access point, to determine a change trend of the distance between the terminal and the current access point; and if the handover device determines, based on a correspondence between the change trend and a neighboring access point of the current access point, a target access point to which the terminal is to be handed over, handing over, by the handover device, the terminal from the current access point to the target access point. Forgoing solution is applied to a scenario in which a terminal is handed over and roams between Wi-Fi networks on a highway.
