Abstract
A terminal for automatically changing a communication mode, a wireless network system having the same, and a method thereof are disclosed. The terminal comprises a wireless communication module for communicating with a corresponding terminal through an access point connected to a communication infrastructure. The terminal further comprising a first memory for storing Ad-Hoc information previously established between the terminal and the corresponding terminal, and a controller for controlling the wireless communication module to communicate with the corresponding terminal based on an Ad-Hoc communication mode using the Ad-Hoc information stored in the first memory when the network access point has malfunctioned.
