A Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) user policy distribution device and method are described. One embodiment of such a device comprises: a first receiving module, configured to receive a WLAN user policy actively sent by an upstream policy decision distribution device; and a first forwarding module, configured to forward the WLAN user policy to a WLAN user policy execution device. Through the technical solution provided in one embodiment of such a device, the absence of a necessary policy control management mechanism in the existing WLAN is solved, thereby implementing the WLAN user policy control effectively.
