Abstract
An information processing apparatus capable of changing packet patterns for determining, based on a condition of proxy ARP compatibility of a connected wireless LAN access point, communication requests to which the apparatus can respond in a power saving state, and thereby maintaining the power saving state for a longer time period. A RAM of an MFP operable in the normal state and the power saving state stores packet patterns which enable the MFP to respond to packets received in the power saving state while maintaining the power saving state. The MFP acquires proxy ARP support information from a wireless LAN access point that relays communication between the MFP and an external apparatus. The MFP determines whether or not the AP can respond to a received communication request on its behalf, and changes the packet patterns based on the determination result.
