A wireless router deployment method for determining deployment positions of wireless routers in a spatial area includes: acquiring first position information on a plurality of candidate nodes distributed in the spatial area for deploying the wireless routers; determining, based on the first position information, a network coverage probability and a network energy efficiency value for each of the candidate nodes presuming a to-be-deployed wireless router is deployed at the candidate node; determining network quality scores for respective candidate nodes according to the network coverage probability and the network energy efficiency value; and selecting a candidate node with the highest network quality score as a deployment position for the to-be-deployed wireless router.
