Abstract: A method for avoiding establishing an inefficient wireless connection for a communications apparatus capable of supporting cellular communications and WLAN communications includes: receiving a beacon frame from a first network device, wherein the first network device is a WLAN network device which provides wireless communications service in a predetermined wireless local area network; identifying the first network device according to an identifier obtained from the beacon frame; determining whether to connect to the first network device according to a connectivity record of the first network device or a usage scenario of the communications apparatus; and not connecting to the first network device if a WLAN connection to be established with the first network device is determined as an inefficient connection.
