Method of Setting Wireless Communication Device
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus that includes an access point communicating with a communication terminal via wireless communication, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a configuration information storage module that stores configuration information set commonly with the communication terminal and the wireless communication apparatus to establish the wireless communication;
a tentative connection module that makes temporary wireless communication with a new communication terminal, which is newly provided as a relay object, under a preset condition regardless of settings of configuration information in the new communication terminal, so as to establish a tentative connection with the new communication terminal; and
a setting instruction module that sends instruction information to the new communication terminal via the established tentative connection to change configuration information set in the new communication terminal based on the instruction information.

Abstract
A relay station 200 constructs an infrastructure wireless network 200L. A printing device 100 requests new participation in the wireless network 200L. When preset conditions are satisfied, for example, when the user has pressed a push button 201 provided on the relay station 200, the relay station 200 establishes temporary wireless communication with the printing device 100 and changes an SSID of the printing device 100 to an SSID of the relay station 200. In this manner, this arrangement readily changes the configuration information of the printing device 100.
