A network-connectable device is configured to communicate with one or more computer-related devices via a network. The network-connectable device includes: a mode selector configured to select a power mode between a first power mode and a second power mode; a power state switching unit operable on the first power mode and configured to: turn on power of the network-connectable device when one of the computer-related devices is connected to the network in a state where no computer-related device has been connected to the network; and shut down the power no computer-related device is connected to the network; and a power state maintaining unit operable on the second power mode and configured to maintain the power of the network connectable device in a same state regardless of whether the computer-related devices are connected to or disconnected from the network.
