Abstract
An electronic device according to one embodiment comprises: a housing; a wireless communication circuit located in the housing, and supporting a wireless protocol so as to wirelessly connect to one of a plurality of APs using the same first credential information at one time point; a processor located in the housing and electrically connected to the communication circuit; and a memory located in the housing and electrically connected to the processor. The electronic device receives, from a first AP, a list of first channels at least partially associated with at least one second AP having a coverage overlapping a coverage of the first AP and a list of second channels associated with at least one third AP that does not have a coverage overlapping the coverage of the first AP through the wireless communication circuit, wherein the first AP, the at least one second AP, and the at least one third AP use the identical first credential information.
