1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a terminal device to:
obtain a first public key of a communication device;
send, to the communication device via a wireless interface of the terminal device, a first authentication request generated using the first public key;
receive, from the communication device via the wireless interface, a first authentication response responsive to the first authentication request;
after the first authentication response is received from the communication device, generate connection information for establishing a second wireless connection between the communication device and an external device different from the communication device; and
send the connection information and specific information to the communication device via the wireless interface, wherein the specific information comprises at least one of: channel information indicating a communication channel used in a first wireless connection between the terminal device and the external device, or device identification information identifying the external device, and the second wireless connection between the communication device and the external device is established by the communication device using the connection information and the specific information.
