In an information processing apparatus, a transmission unit transmits information stored by a storage unit to a communication apparatus when an access point corresponding to the information stored by the storage unit is an access point to which the communication apparatus is connectable, and transmits to the communication apparatus information on an access point selected using a displayed list when an access point corresponding to the information stored by the storage unit is not an access point to which the communication apparatus is connectable. The information processing apparatus communicates with the communication apparatus via an access point corresponding to information transmitted by the transmission unit.
