Abstract

An electronic device according to one embodiment may comprise a wireless communication circuit. The electronic device may comprise at least one processor including a processing circuit. The electronic device may comprise a memory storing instructions. The instructions may be individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor to instruct the electronic device to acquire connection information between one or more access points (APs) supporting a plurality of frequency bands related to a wireless local area network (WLAN) and one or more first external electronic devices connected to the one or more APs. The instructions may be individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor to instruct the electronic device to determine the resource utilization state of the wireless LAN on the basis of the connection information. The instructions may be individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor to instruct the electronic device to acquire, if a new second external electronic device (140) is added by means of an application for management of the one or more first external electronic devices (120), attribute information of the second external electronic device (140). The instructions may be individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor to instruct the electronic device to determine a target access point (AP) to be connected to the second external electronic device (140) on the basis of the attribute information of the second external electronic device (140) and the resource utilization state of the wireless LAN. Various other embodiments may be possible.
