1. A communication apparatus that communicates with an information processing apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:
a first control unit configured to execute first control to acquire connection information for the communication apparatus to connect to an access point from the information processing apparatus via communication with the information processing apparatus using a first protocol;
a second control unit configured to execute second control to, in a case where a connection between the communication apparatus and the access point is established using the connection information acquired by the first control unit, disable a second state where the communication apparatus can communicate with the information processing apparatus using a second protocol different from the first protocol; and
a third control unit configured to execute third control to, in a case where the connection between the communication apparatus and the access point is not established using the connection information acquired by the first control unit, continue the second state where the communication apparatus can communicate with the information processing apparatus using the second protocol, without disabling the second state.
