Abstract
An electronic device includes a communication module configured to support a plurality of communication channels that include a first communication channel and a second communication channel, and a processor operatively coupled with the communication module. The processor is configured to use the first communication channel to establish a first communication connection between the electronic device and another electronic device, while the first communication connection has been established, to check a second communication connection between the electronic device and a first access point using the second communication channel, and based on the checking, to change a channel for the first communication connection from the first communication channel to the second communication channel.
