Communication Apparatus

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for a communication apparatus, wherein

• the computer-readable instructions, when executed by a processor mounted on the communication apparatus, cause the communication apparatus to:
• obtain a first wireless connection request from a first external apparatus;
• determine whether a connection number has reached an upper limit in a case where the first wireless connection request is obtained from the first external apparatus, the connection number being a total number of a wireless connection which has been currently established by the communication apparatus;
• supply first wait information to the first external apparatus in a case where the first wireless connection request is obtained from the first external apparatus and it is determined that the connection number has reached the upper limit, the first wait information being for causing the first external apparatus to wait until when a situation is realized where the communication apparatus is capable of establishing a wireless connection with the first external apparatus;
• and
• newly faun a second wireless network which is different from a first wireless network to which both of the communication apparatus and a specific external apparatus had belonged, so as to establish a wireless connection with the first external apparatus, in a case where a wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the specific external apparatus is disconnected after the first wait information is supplied to the first external apparatus, wherein in the first wireless network, the communication apparatus is configured to operate as a parent station and the specific external apparatus is configured to operate as a child station, and in the second wireless network, the communication apparatus is configured to operate as a parent station and the first external apparatus is configured to operate as a child station.

A method performed by a communication apparatus, the method comprising:

• obtaining a first wireless connection request from a first external apparatus;
• determining whether a connection number has reached an upper limit in a case where the first wireless connection request is obtained from the first external apparatus, the connection number being a total number of a wireless connection which has been currently established by the communication apparatus;
• supplying first wait information to the first external apparatus in a case where the first wireless connection request is obtained from the first external apparatus and it is determined that the connection number has reached the upper limit, the first wait information being for causing the first external apparatus to wait until when a situation is realized where the communication apparatus is capable of establishing a wireless connection with the first external apparatus;
• and
• newly forming a second wireless network which is different from a first wireless network to which both of the communication apparatus and a specific external apparatus had belonged, so as to establish a wireless connection with the first external apparatus, in a case where a wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the specific external apparatus is disconnected after the first wait information is supplied to the first external apparatus, wherein in the first wireless network, the communication apparatus is configured to operate as a parent station and the specific external apparatus is configured to operate as a child station, and in the second wireless network, the communication apparatus is configured to operate as a parent station and the first external apparatus is configured to operate as a child station.
