Abstract
A communication apparatus for connecting to the Internet without using an input/output apparatus is provided. The communication apparatus includes: a first connecting unit configured to connect to a first device; an acquiring unit configured to acquire, via the first device, setup information for connecting to a second device that operates as a router; and a second connecting unit configured to connect to the second device based on the setup information. A code sequence is generated using a code generator that is in common with the first device from an initial value that is shared with the first device. In addition, network identification information extracted from a signal received from the first device is searched for in the code sequence, and network authentication information is segmented from a predetermined offset position using a matching location as a reference.
