Method, for a distributed wireless communication network comprising a plurality of gathering nodes (B1, B2, B3, B4) and at least one client node (C1, C2) connected to a first gathering node, for managing the connection of this client node, the method being executed by a so-called management node (B1, B2, B3, B4) and comprising the steps of: - determining a connection quality indicator associated with the client node, the connection quality indicator representing a quality of the connection between the first gathering node and the client node, if the connection quality indicator is higher than a predetermined threshold, this exceeded threshold representing a poor quality of the connection, then - sending, to the client node, a command to determine quality data associated with each gathering node, - sending, in the absence of acceptance by the client node of the command to determine quality data associated with each gathering node, to each gathering node, except for the first gathering node, a command to activate determination of a quality data item associated with the client node and with each gathering node, the command comprising an identifier of the client node, - receiving, in the absence of acceptance by the client node of the command to determine quality data associated with each gathering node, coming from each gathering node, a message comprising the quality data item associated with the client node and with said each gathering node, - determining, for each gathering node, a quality indicator associated with the client node according to the quality data item received, - selecting a second gathering node according to the quality indicators determined, and characterised in that, if the second gathering node is different from the first gathering node, then: - sending, to the client node, a command to connect to the second gathering node, the command comprising an identifier of the second gathering node, - sending, in the absence of acceptance by the client node of the command to connect to the second gathering node, to each gathering node in the distributed communication network, except for the second gathering node, a command to refuse association with the client node. - determining a connection quality indicator associated with the client node, the connection quality indicator representing a quality of the connection between the first gathering node and the client node, if the connection quality indicator is higher than a predetermined threshold, this exceeded threshold representing a poor quality of the connection, then - sending, to the client node, a command to determine quality data associated with each gathering node, - sending, in the absence of acceptance by the client node of the command to determine quality data associated with each gathering node, to each gathering node, except for the first gathering node, a command to activate determination of a quality data item associated with the client node and with each gathering node, the command comprising an identifier of the client node, - receiving, in the absence of acceptance by the client node of the command to determine quality data associated with each gathering node, coming from each gathering node, a message comprising the quality data item associated with the client node and with said each gathering node, - determining, for each gathering node, a quality indicator associated with the client node according to the quality data item received, - selecting a second gathering node according to the quality indicators determined, and - sending, to the client node, a command to connect to the second gathering node, the command comprising an identifier of the second gathering node, - sending, in the absence of acceptance by the client node of the command to connect to the second gathering node, to each gathering node in the distributed communication network, except for the second gathering node, a command to refuse association with the client node.
