1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module configured to perform data communications with an external device, wherein the communication module comprises a first core and a second core;
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
determine first channels to be scanned by the first core and second channels to be scanned by the second core,
scan the first channels by using the first core for a first time,
scan the second channels by using the second core for a second time,
determine third channels to be scanned by the first core and fourth channels to be scanned by the second core, based on a non-preferred scanning channel (PSC) detected based on at least one of the first channels and the second channels,
scan the third channels by using the first core for a third time after the first time, and
scan the fourth channels by using the second core for a fourth time after the second time.
