Abstract

A method of connecting an Access Point (AP) is disclosed. The method includes, if a device having a nearfield wireless communication tag is tagged with a mobile terminal apparatus having a nearfield wireless communication reader, providing connecting information stored on the device to the mobile terminal apparatus, connecting the mobile terminal apparatus, receiving AP information from the connected mobile terminal apparatus, and connecting to an AP using the received AP information. As a result, connecting to the AP can be implemented more conveniently.
