Abstract:
An information processing apparatus performs a communication using a wireless encryption method via an access point. A plurality of access points are displayed on a display unit of the information processing apparatus in a manner that one of the plurality of access points can be selected. At this time, an encryption method of a communication adopted by the access point is obtained, and it is determined whether the obtained encryption method of the access point is a predetermined encryption method. The access point determined to have a predetermined encryption strength is displayed on the display unit more preferentially than other access points.
