1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module, including communication circuitry, configured to exchange data with an external device; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module and configured to control the electronic device, wherein
the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a management frame transmitted by at least one hub device, using the communication module,
determine default channel setting information on a plurality of links with the at least one hub device, based on the management frame,
determine whether a first mode is usable, wherein, in the first mode, data is transmitted to the at least one hub device through a first link based on the default channel setting information, and, at the same time, data is received from the at least one hub device through a second link,
when the first mode is determined to be not usable, generate first target channel setting information by changing the default channel setting information,
determine whether the first mode is usable based on the first target channel setting information, and
when the first mode is determined to be usable based on the first target channel setting information, determine an operation mode of the plurality of links to be the first mode.
