Wireless connection device

A wireless connection device for establishing a connection path between a parent device and a child device through one more relay devices includes one or more processors that determines whether the signal strength between the child device and each of the relay devices is greater than or equal to a first threshold value; when the signal strength is determined to be greater than or equal to the first threshold value, selects, from among a plurality of possible communication paths for which the signal strength has been determined to be greater than or equal to the first threshold value, a communication path that minimizes a hop count; and, when the signal strength is less than the first threshold value for all of the plurality of possible communication paths, selects, from among the plurality of possible communication paths, a communication path that has the largest signal strength.
