Disclosed are a method and a device for controlling network connection of an application terminal. The method includes: determining whether one or more connected equipments are equipments in the application terminal's equipment list; and controlling the network connection of said application terminal based on the determination result. Therefore, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the application terminal may control network connection automatically according to connected equipments rather than always connecting the application terminal with the network, which reduces the risk of leaking user's data and at the same time reduces power consumption of the application terminal.
