1. A communication system including a first electronic device, a second electronic device and an information processing terminal, and is configured to perform wireless communication using a wireless network,
wherein the information processing terminal is configured to transmit a transmission request to the first electronic device, the transmission request requesting the first electronic device to transmit connection information of an access point of the wireless network, the connection information of the access point being possessed by the first electronic device based on a completion of a connection setup of the first electronic device to the access point of the wireless network using the connection information,
wherein the first electronic device is configured to perform:
obtaining authentication information in response to receipt of the transmission request;
determining whether to permit transmission of the connection information based on the authentication information as obtained; and
when it is determined, in the determining, to permit transmission of the connection information, transmitting the connection information the first electronic device possesses to the information processing terminal; and
when it is determined, in the determining, not to permit transmission of the connection information, not transmitting the connection information to the information processing terminal,
wherein, when receiving the connection information from the first electronic device in response to the transmission request, the information processing terminal transmits the received connection information to the second electronic device,
wherein, when receiving the connection information from the information processing terminal, the second electronic device completes the connection setup with the access point using the connection information received from the information processing terminal;
wherein the first electronic device comprises:
a first button corresponding to permission of transmission of the connection information; and
a second button corresponding to inhibition of transmission of the connection information, and
wherein the first electronic device is further configured to perform:
obtaining operation information indicating the first button or the second button is operated as the authentication information;
permitting transmission of the connection information when the operation information indicates that the first button is operated; and
not permitting transmission of the connection information when the operation information indicates that the second button is operated.
