Abstract: A device has a first radio interface for implementing a first wireless communication network and a second radio interface for implementing a second wireless communication network, said networks having separate identifiers. When no client is connected to the second wireless communication network, the device: deactivates (303) the second radio interface; implements (304) a third wireless communication network via said first radio interface, the third wireless communication network having the same identifier as the second wireless communication network. Once a client device connects to the third wireless communication network, the device reactivates the second radio interface, re-implements (306) the second wireless communication network; and cuts off (307) the third wireless communication network and switches said client device to the second wireless communication network.
