An electronic apparatus, including: at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a connection unit configured to connect to a first access point (AP) based on a first security mode; a changing unit configured to change an AP serving as a connection destination based on a change request of an AP serving as a connection destination, the change request being received from an AP that is currently connected; and a control unit configured to perform control to suppress a situation where an AP, among candidate APs serving as candidates to be changed to by the changing unit, that uses a security mode having a weaker security strength than the first security mode, is connected due to a change in the AP serving as a connection destination made by the changing unit.
