Abstract: An electronic apparatus having a plurality of operation modes with respect to an access to a server is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an information generator configured to generate information used to one function of a user terminal, a communicator configured to communicate with the user terminal, the server and a plurality of external apparatuses having the plurality of operation modes, and a controller configured to control the communicator: to attempt an access to the server at a first operation mode; in response to determining that the server is in a normal communication state based on the access attempt, to provide information generated by the information generator to the user terminal via the server; and in response to determining that the server is in a communication pending state based on the access attempt, to transmit a first mode changing signal for operating in a second operation mode, which restricts the access to the server, to at least one of the plurality of external apparatuses. With this, there are provided an electronic apparatus and a control method thereof, which when the server is in the communication pending state, other electronic apparatuses are restricted to attempt the accesses to the server, thereby enhancing electric power efficiency and relieving communication channel contention.
