Abstract: A method for accessing an access point (AP) in a wireless LAN and a station are provided that allow users to determine the current country mode and more conveniently and faster perform access to the AP when access to the AP occurs through worldwide roaming. The method extracts country information from a beacon which is received from the access point when access to the access point occurs and displays the country name of the extracted country and a map including the country on a display device. The method manages multiple profiles by grouping into multiple profile groups for each country and tries to access sequentially and automatically all access points which are set in the multiple profiles included in the profile groups of the country. Therefore, if a response from the AP is received, users can receive various services by communication through the AP.
