Provided is a communication apparatus for preventing a shortage of wireless LAN resources. A communication-control unit controls wireless communication via an access point and P2P type communication (P2P communication); a connection-information-managing unit manages connection information of the access point, and request-having information that indicates there is a connection request from a portable terminal using the wireless communication; and a system-control unit causes the connection-information-managing unit to change the connection information when the connection-information-managing unit is managing the request-having information. By changing the connection information of the access point when there is a connection request from a portable terminal using wireless communication, automatic connection that is executed after cutting communication is selected on the portable terminal side is disabled so that unintended connection requests are not received from the portable terminal side.
