Different subnets are allocated to respective wireless LAN terminals. It is assumed that when the setting of IP addresses is completed, a packet is to be sent from wireless LAN terminal 1 to wireless LAN terminal 2. Since the different subnets are allocated to respective wireless LAN terminals 1, 2, wireless LAN terminals 1, 2 are unable to communicate directly with each other. Wireless LAN terminal 1 sends a packet destined for wireless LAN terminal 2 to a default gateway (=access limiter). Since the packet received by the access limiter is destined for wireless LAN terminal 2, the access limiter transfers the packet to wireless LAN terminal 2.
