• receive a specific operation by a user on the audio player;
• based on the received specific operation of the user on the audio player, start a wireless access with the particular network name stored in the storage by an AdHoc mode;
• establish a wireless connection with the commander by the AdHoc mode;
• receive network information via the wireless network interface by way of the wireless connection by the AdHoc mode;
• store the network information to the storage;
• and
• in response to receiving the network information, switch a network mode of the audio player from the AdHoc mode to an infrastructure mode by using the network information.

A method of switching a network mode of a commander of a wireless network audio system configured to wirelessly communicate with an audio player of the wireless network audio system, the method comprising:

• monitoring, by way of a wireless network interface of the commander, wireless access from the audio player in the vicinity of the commander;
• detecting, by way of the wireless network interface, wireless access with a network name from the audio player;
• in response to determining that the detected network name corresponds to a particular network name stored in a storage of the commander, switching the network mode of the commander from an infrastructure mode to an AdHoc mode to access the audio player;
• connecting the commander, by way of the wireless network interface, to the audio player specified by the particular network name;
• and
• after switching the network mode to the AdHoc mode, sending network information for setting the wireless access by way of the wireless network interface to the audio player.
