A method for processing information is provided. The method includes the following. A wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) scan operation is performed through a Wi-Fi scan module to obtain N feedback time lengths corresponding to N access points (APs). The first AP is any one of the N APs and N is an integer greater than one. In response to an access instruction for the second AP, first power for information transmission is determined according to a feedback time length corresponding to the second AP. The first power is equal to second power plus a first power variable, where the first power variable is greater than zero when the feedback time length corresponding to the second AP is within a preset time length range. An access request is transmitted to the second AP at the first power. A terminal device is also provided.
