ABSTRACT:
A terminal and an information relay apparatus allowing automatic setup for wireless connection without requiring setup operation by the user and capable of preventing information leakage when used at home are provided. A wireless LAN terminal communicates with a wireless access point relaying information to and from a communication apparatus constituting a communication network. Wireless LAN terminal includes an ROM, an optical communication block, a communication unit, and a CPU. The optical communication block is for optical communication. Communication unit is for communication by radio signal. CPU causes the optical communication unit to transmit a start request signal. After transmission of the start request signal, when the optical communication block receives an information request signal, CPU causes the optical communication block to transmit identification information stored in ROM. After the optical communication block transmits the identification information, CPU causes the communication unit to transmit log-in request and the like.
