A handover method and a handover device for a mobile node in a wireless LAN environment are provided. The handover method involves a) scanning beacon signals transmitted from neighboring access routers while a mobile node moves from place to place; b) predicting a new access router (NAR) based on the beacon scanning results; c) obtaining information on the predicted NAR before an L2 trigger of a link layer occurs; and d) carrying out binding update using the information on the predicted NAR when the L2 trigger of the link layer occurs.
