A network configuration method for an IoT device is implemented by a terminal device. The method includes receiving attribute information broadcasted by N IoT devices, N being an integer greater than 1; determining a target IoT device from the N IoT devices based on at least one of: whether the attribute information broadcasted by the N IoT devices includes a selected identifier, or a first selection instruction input by a user; establishing a first communication connection with the target IoT device; sending a query request to the target IoT device to have the target IoT device return a network list corresponding to the target IoT device; determining a target network from the network list; and sending configuration information of the target network to the target IoT device so that the target IoT device performs network configuration based on the configuration information of the target network.
