1. An information processing apparatus that is capable of using wireless infrastructure connection or wireless direct connection for communication with a mobile terminal, comprising:
a first communication section configured to perform wireless communication conforming to a first wireless communication standard;
a second communication section configured to perform wireless communication conforming to a second wireless communication standard which is lower in data transfer rate for a larger area than the first wireless communication standard,
wherein the second communication section is able to perform the second wireless communication for the wireless direct connection;
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform the operations as:
a display controller configured to display, based on receiving a setting for causing the second communication section to perform the second wireless communication for the wireless direct connection, a message prompting use of not the second wireless communication standard but the first wireless communication standard for the wireless direct connection, on the display section.
