1. A communication device comprising:
an establishment unit configured to establish a wireless network in a predetermined frequency band;
a generation unit configured to generate a management frame complying with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 series standards including Robust Security Network Element (RSNE) including a value “1” in a Management Frame Protection Capable (MFPC) field and a value “0” in a Management Frame Protection Required (MFPR) field, in a case where the frequency band of the wireless network established by the establishment unit is switched from a 6 GHz band to another frequency band; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit the management frame generated by the generation unit.
