1. A network connection configuration method, applied to an image forming apparatus, comprising:
sending out a first service set identifier (SSID) without a corresponding encryption key, such that an electronic device which receives the first SSID is capable of establishing a keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the first SSID;
executing a preset operation, wherein the preset operation includes acquiring wireless network information sent by the electronic device which establishes the keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus, and establishing a communication connection with a corresponding wireless network device based on the wireless network information, wherein after establishing the communication connection with the corresponding wireless network device, the keyless communication connection with the electronic device is disconnected; and
sending out a second SSID with a corresponding encryption key, such that the electronic device which receives the second SSID is capable of establishing a key communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the second SSID and the corresponding encryption key.
