Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing, a wireless communication circuit, a wired communication interface, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to connect with an external device by using the wireless communication circuit or the wired communication interface, to receive first information to set the electronic device as an access point (AP) from the external device, to receive second information on another AP from the external device, to configure the electronic device by using the first information, and to wirelessly broadcast a signal by using the wireless communication circuit, to allow wireless devices to connect to the AP.
