A communication apparatus includes a communication unit for executing a first communication mode in which wireless communication is performed with a terminal device via an external access point and a second communication mode in which the communication apparatus serves as a master station to directly and wirelessly communicate with the terminal device without using the external access point, and a control unit for controlling the communication unit. In the first communication mode, the communication unit can perform communication using a frequency band set by the control unit from a first frequency band and a second frequency band including a specific frequency band, and in the second communication mode, the communication unit can perform communication using the first frequency band and does not perform communication using the specific frequency band.
