1. A method of managing access to a wireless network in a wireless terminal, comprising:

  • detecting wireless signals from one or more access points of the wireless network N−

    1 (N>

    =2) times at different points of time under a disconnected state in which an IP address is not assigned from the wireless network, and for each of the access points, storing strengths of the detected wireless signals in a detected order thereof;

    detecting wireless signals from one or more access points of the wireless network once more (N-th detection), and determining which state the wireless terminal is in among predetermined states including at least a first state and a second state, based on numerical values derived from differences between a strength of each of all or part of the N-th detected wireless signals and one of the stored strengths, said one of the stored strengths and the strength of said each of all or part of the N-th detected wireless signals being about signals detected from same access point; and

    conducting an operation selectively for connecting to the wireless data network or for displaying accessibility to the wireless network, according to the determined state.
