1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module;
a memory; and
a processor operatively connected to one of the communication module and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
establish a first network connection with an external device via the communication module through a first network,
while the electronic device is connected to the external device, broadcast device information associated with the external device through a second network,
transmit connection information associated with the external device to an external electronic device transmitting a request to establish a second network connection with the external device through the second network,
change a configuration value of a disconnection notification timer to reduce the time required to perform an expedited release of the first network connection between the electronic device and the external device,
configure the changed disconnection notification timer with the external device,
release the first network connection with the external device based on the changed configuration value, without processing a reconnection message received from the external device.
