Communication apparatus, control method thereof, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A method for controlling a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus including a wireless communication unit and a recording unit, the method comprising:

• controlling, in a case where connection with a relay apparatus is established by the wireless communication unit, the recording unit to record information on a network formed by the relay apparatus and information on whether a stealth mode is enabled for the network, as history information;
• and
• controlling, in a case where a beacon, which does not include a service set identifier of a network is received by the wireless communication unit in a state where the history information includes information on a network for which the stealth mode is enabled, which was recorded due to a connection with the network in the past, the wireless communication unit to start wireless connection to the relay apparatus that forms the network, which is recorded in the history information, for which the stealth mode is enabled, and
• not controlling, in a case where the beacon, which does not include a service set identifier of a network, is not received by the wireless communication unit in a state where the history information includes information on a network for which the stealth mode is enabled, which was recorded due to a connection with the network in the past, the wireless communication unit to start wireless connection to the relay apparatus that forms the network, which is recorded in the history information, for which the stealth mode is enabled.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for controlling a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus including a wireless communication unit and a recording unit, the method comprising:

• controlling, in a case where connection with a relay apparatus is established by the wireless communication unit, the recording unit to record information on a network formed by the relay apparatus and information on whether a stealth mode is enabled for the network, as history information;
• and
• controlling, in a case where a beacon, which does not include a service set identifier of a network is received by the wireless communication unit in a state where the history information includes information on a network for which the stealth mode is enabled, which was recorded due to a connection with the network in the past, the wireless communication unit to start wireless connection to the relay apparatus that forms the network, which is recorded in the history information for which the stealth mode is enabled, and
• not controlling, in a case where the beacon, which does not include a service set identifier of a network, is not received by the wireless communication unit in a state where the history information includes information on a network for which the stealth mode is enabled, which was recorded due to a connection with the network in the past, the wireless communication unit to start wireless connection to the relay apparatus that forms the network, which is recorded in the history information, for which the stealth mode is enabled.
