The embodiment of the invention provides an access method and terminal equipment. The access method includes: obtaining the IP addresses of a plurality of authentication servers through terminal equipment; sending a connection request message to each authentication server in the plurality of authentication servers according to the IP addresses of the plurality of authentication servers; determining a target authentication server according to the authentication server for firstly feeding back the connection request message in the plurality of authentication servers; according to the IP addressof the target authentication server, sending the to-be-authenticated information to the target authentication server. A user does not need to manually select an access IP when switching a network, sothat the access speed of the terminal equipment to the authentication server is increased.
