A method for realizing a convergent Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) network architecture with a split Medium Access Control (MAC) mode involves the steps: a split MAC mode for realizing WLAN Privacy Infrastructure (WPI) by a wireless terminal point is constructed through separating the MAC function and the WAPI function of the wireless access point apart to the wireless terminal point and an access controller; integration of a WAPI and a convergent WLAN network system architecture is realized under the split MAC mode that the wireless terminal point realizes WPI; the association connection process is performed among a station point, a wireless terminal point and an access controller; the process for announcing the start of performing the WLAN Authentication Infrastructure (WAI) protocol between the access controller and the wireless terminal point is performed; the process for performing the WAI protocol between the station point and the access controller is performed; the process for announcing the end of performing the WAI protocol between the access controller and the wireless terminal point is performed; the secret communication process is performed between the wireless terminal point and the station by using WPI.
