Abstract:
An image forming apparatus that is capable of communicatively connecting to a suitable access point corresponding to a role of a wireless LAN. The image forming apparatus communicates by the wireless LAN through an access point. A role setting unit makes a user set a role of the wireless LAN in the image forming apparatus. A control unit controls a setting of the access point corresponding to the role of the wireless LAN. The control unit makes the user reset the access point in a case where the role of the wireless LAN has been changed. The role of the wireless LAN shows whether the wireless LAN is used as a main line or a subline.
