at least one communication circuit;

at least one processor; and

memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:

receive, from an external electronic device through the at least one communication circuit, a message requesting network configuration information including network role information set to a configurator,

transmit, to the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuit, a configurator delegation message including network configuration information of the electronic device to configure the external electronic device as a second configurator that shares the same network configuration information with the first configurator,

update the network configuration information,

transmit, directly to the external electronic device without involving a base station or an access point, a message indicating that the network configuration information is updated while the external electronic device is activated as the second configurator where the electronic device and the external electronic device are configured and synchronized to share network management operations as a configurator, wherein the message indicating that the network configuration information is updated includes a value indicating whether a new access point is configured and a value indicating whether a new station is configured,

transmit, directly to the external electronic device without involving the base station or the access point, a message including the updated network configuration information, and

receive, directly from the external electronic device without involving the base station or the access point, a further message including further updated network configuration information related to provisioning of an additional external electronic device by the external electronic device functioning as the second configurator.
