Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module and a processor functionally connected to the communication module. The processor can be configured to receive, from an external electronic device, through a communication module, a configuration request frame including identification information for identifying a registrant access point (AP), in order to configure the external electronic device as the registrant AP, transmit, to the external electronic device, through the communication module, a configuration response frame including first channel information for indicating a channel used by the electronic device in the scanning of the external electronic device, based on the configuration request frame, acquire connection information about the external electronic device by performing scanning through the communication module, based on the first channel information and the identification information, and connect to the external electronic device through the communication module based on the connection information about the external electronic device.
