Abstract:
A communication device may, in a specific situation where the communication device is in a parent station state in which the communication device operates as a parent station of a first wireless network and N pieces of first external devices participate in the first wireless network as child stations, receive a belonging request from a second external device. The communication device may shift from the parent station state to a first state, in a case where the belonging request is received in the specific situation, execute a wireless communication of target data with the second external device, shift from the first state to the parent station state, and cause M pieces of the first external devices among the N pieces of the first external devices to participate in the first wireless network again as child stations after the communication device has been shifted to the parent station state.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication device comprising:\n a wireless interface; a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the communication device to: in a specific situation where an operation state of the communication device is a parent station state in which the communication device operates as a parent station of a first wireless network and N pieces (the N being an integer of 1 or more) of first external devices participate in the first wireless network as child stations, receive a belonging request from a second external device different from the N pieces of the first external devices via the wireless interface, the belonging request being a command for requesting the communication device to belong to a second wireless network different from the first wireless network; shift the operation state of the communication device from the parent station state to a first state where the communication device belongs to the second wireless network, in a case where the belonging request is received from the second external device in the specific situation; execute a wireless communication of target data with the second external device via the wireless interface by using the second wireless network after the operation state of the communication device has been shifted from the parent station state to the first state; shift the operation state of the communication device from the first state to the parent station state after the wireless communication of the target data has been completed; and cause M pieces (the M being integer of 1 or more and less than or equal to the N) of the first external devices among the N pieces of the first external devices to participate in the first wireless network again as child stations after the operation state of the communication device has been shifted from the first state to the parent station state.
