Abstract
The method includes: executing, when first APs that are changed from a cluster AP to a non-cluster AP due to a change of a cluster occurs, first processing on processing target APs including the first APs and a second AP that is the non-cluster AP satisfying a predetermined condition in relation to the first APs, and thereby determining, as an operation mode of the processing target APs. The first processing includes: selecting one first processing target AP from the processing target APs, and determining a downstream-only mode as the operation mode of the one first processing target AP, and determining a upstream-only mode or a sleep mode as the operation mode of a second processing target AP that is different from the one first processing target AP and is among the processing target APs.
