The first communication device may establish a first wireless connection according to a Wi-Fi standard with a second communication device different from the first communication device via a first wireless interface among one or more wireless interfaces of the first communication device. The first wireless connection may be for the first communication device to operate as a parent station of a first wireless network and the second communication device to operate as a child station of the first wireless network. The first communication device may send, in a case where the first wireless connection is established, first wireless setting to the second communication device via the first wireless interface using the first wireless connection. The first wireless setting may be information for a recipient communication device to establish a specific wireless connection with a first access point different from the first communication device.

A terminal device may obtain a third public key of a communication device, in a case where the third public key is obtained, send a third authentication request in which the third public key is used to the communication device, receive a third authentication response from the communication device, and send third connection information to the communication device. The third connection information may include a first identifier and a second identifier, the first identifier for identifying a first wireless network in which a first access point operates as a parent station, and the second identifier for identifying a second wireless network in which a second access point operates as a parent station.

Non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for terminal device and communication device

A terminal device may send to a first server a sending request, and receive from the first server first related information which is related to a first public key of a first communication device in response to the sending request being sent to the first server. The terminal device may send to the first communication device a first authentication request in which the first public key related to the first related information is used in a case where the first related information is received from the first server, and send first connection information to the first communication device in a case where a first authentication response is received from the first communication device in response to the first authentication request being sent to the first communication device. The first connection information may be for establishing a first wireless connection between the first communication device and an external device.

A communication device may be configured to receive a sending request by executing communication at a network layer or above of an Open System Interconnection reference model. The communication device may be configured to, in a case where the sending request is received, send a public key by executing communication at the network layer or above. The communication device may be configured to, after the public key has been sent, receive an authentication request. The communication device may be configured to, in a case where the authentication request is received, send an authentication response. The communication device may be configured to, after the authentication response has been sent, receive first connection information. The communication device may be configured to, in a case where the first connection information is received, establish a second wireless connection with an external device by using the first connection information.

A communication device (e.g., a printer) may establish a wireless connection in accordance with a device provisioning protocol (DPP) between the communication device and an external device (e.g., access point) in a state in which a wireless connection has already been established between the communication device and another external device (e.g., access point). The communication device may disconnect its wireless interface from a first external device prior to connecting to a second external device.

An image forming device may be configured to repeatedly send an inquiry request to a server at a first interval and, in a case where a job execution response is received from the server, control the image forming engine to start image forming. The image forming device may be configured to in the case where the job execution response is received from the server, repeatedly send the inquiry request to the server at a second interval which is shorter than the first interval. In a case where the server receives a job stop instruction from the terminal device, the server sends a job stop response to the image forming device in response to the inquiring request received from the image forming device. In a case where the job stop response is received, the image forming is stopped.

In a case where a public key of a communication device is obtained, a terminal device may send a first request signal in which the public key is used to the communication device and execute a first-type communication in conformity with the first communication scheme with the communication device. The first-type communication may include sending first connection information for establishing a first wireless connection between the communication device and the access point to the communication device. In a case where the first-type communication has been failed, the terminal device may send a second request signal to the communication device and execute a second-type communication in conformity with the second communication scheme with the communication device. The second-type communication may include communicating second connection information for establishing a second wireless connection between the terminal device and the communication device with the communication device.

Terminal device and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer readable instructions for terminal device

A terminal device may obtain a public key and target identification information from a communication device, search for the communication device via a wireless interface of the terminal device, based on the target identification information and a result of the search for the communication device, determine whether the communication device is to establish a wireless connection with an external device or with the terminal device, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is to establish the wireless connection with the external device, send first connection information to the communication device, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is to establish the wireless connection with the terminal device, send second connection information different from the first connection information to the communication device, establish the wireless connection with the communication device via the wireless interface by using the second connection information.

A terminal device may receive print condition related information being related to an actual print condition from a printer, and register, in a print intermediation server, by using the print condition related information, printer related information including actual print condition information indicating the actual print condition. The terminal device may control a display unit to display a selection screen by using the actual print condition information in a case where file related information related to a target file is to be registered in the print intermediation server after the printer related information was registered in the print intermediation server. The selection screen may cause a user to select a print setting from among the actual print condition. The terminal device may register the file related information and print setting information in association with the printer related information in the print intermediation server.
