• establish a direct wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the communication partner apparatus which is the same as the communication partner apparatus of the first communication unit, wherein the direct wireless connection is established without the external access point;
• concurrently perform the wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the external access point and the direct wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the communication partner apparatus with each other;
• and
• search the external access point in a state that the direct wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the communication partner apparatus is maintained, in a case where the wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the external access point is disconnected,
• wherein the external access point is external to the communication apparatus and is external to the communication partner apparatus.
