1. A communication apparatus that wirelessly communicates in a first frequency band corresponding to a plurality of communication channels and a second frequency band corresponding to a plurality of communication channels, the communication apparatus comprising:
at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor performs operations of:
a first receiving unit configured to receive setting information used in processing for wirelessly connecting with an external apparatus;
a first connection unit configured to,
in a case where the setting information includes frequency band information corresponding to the first frequency band and frequency band information corresponding to the second frequency band, execute a first trial to establish a first wireless connection between the external apparatus that operates as a parent station and the communication apparatus that operates as a child station based on the setting information, using the first frequency band and not using the second frequency band, although the communication apparatus is able to use both of the first frequency band and the second frequency band;
a second connection unit configured to establish a second wireless connection between an apparatus that operates as the child station and the communication apparatus that operates as the parent station;
a second receiving unit configured to receive a print job via the wireless connection between the external apparatus and the communication apparatus; and
