The invention provides a method for interactively controlling a wireless router. The method comprises the steps of obtaining current time and a working state of the router; judging whether the currenttime and the working state of the router satisfy a preset condition of starting a health energy-saving mode or not, and pushing a request of whether to start the health energy-saving mode or not to auser if the current time and the working state of the router satisfy the preset condition; receiving a feedback instruction of the user; and performing operation of starting the health energy-savingmode when the instruction indicating that the user confirms to start the health energy-saving mode is received, thereby reducing electromagnetic radiation of the router. The invention also discloses adevice for interactively controlling the wireless router. The device comprises an obtaining module, a judgment module, an interaction module and an operation module. According to the method and the device, the operation is simple; the interaction with the user is enhanced; the router can be smartly controlled according to a user demand; and the router is enabled to work in the health energy-saving mode, so the electromagnetic radiation is greatly reduced and a health energy-saving purpose is actually achieved.
