An information processing apparatus which makes it easier to carry out setting of a wireless interface necessary for enabling a device or apparatus to be used via the wireless interface, using a wire interface. An information processing apparatus carries out first communication setting so as to enable an apparatus or device to be controlled via a wire interface, communicates with the apparatus or device via the wire interface after the first communication setting to carry out second communication setting for enabling communication with the apparatus or device via a wireless interface. This simplifies the communication setting for enabling communication with the apparatus or device via the wireless interface.
