A detection unit detects that the second connection has been established, and a control unit causes the printing apparatus to operate in a predetermined mode for performing setting for establishing the first connection. Even if it is detected while the printing apparatus is operating in the predetermined mode that the second connection has been established, the control unit causes the printing apparatus to continue operation in the predetermined mode.
