Abstract
Provided is an electronic device including a Wi-Fi module and a processor. The Wi-Fi module includes circuitry including a first communication interface operating as a Wi-Fi station and configured to perform communication, and a second communication interface configured to perform communication based on Wi-Fi Direct. The processor is configured to execute at least one instruction. The processor is configured to: control the Wi-Fi module to set an operation mode of the second communication interface to a first mode for performing communication by operating as the Wi-Fi station, and perform communication connection with a second access point (AP) via the second communication interface in the first mode while connection with a first AP is maintained through the first communication interface.
