Abstract

A control method for controlling a connection destination of a station in a network is provided. In the control method, information is obtained regarding transmission power at a first access point in the network. The first access point performs communication complying with an IEEE802.11 standard and is in communication with a station which is connected to the first access point. Control processing is executed for controlling the first access point and a second access point that performs communication complying with the IEEE802.11 standard. The control processing is performed such that, on a basis that the transmission power is higher than a first predetermined value, the connection destination of the station is changed from the first access point to the second access point.
