Q: How do I switch WLAN off on my Nokia device?
A: The WLAN on your Nokia device switches off when you are
not trying to connect, not connected to another access point,
or not scanning for available networks. To further reduce
battery consumption, you can specify that your Nokia device
does not scan, or scans less often, for available networks in
the background. WLAN switches off in between background
scans.
To stop the background scans, select Menu > Tools >
Settings > Connection > Wireless LAN > Show WLAN
availability > Never. You can still manually scan for
available WLAN networks and connect to WLAN networks as
usual.
To increase the background scan interval, select Show WLAN
availability > Yes, and define the interval in Scan for
networks.
Q: Why can't I browse the web even though the
WLAN connection is working and the IP settings
are correct?
A: Check that you have defined the HTTP/ HTTPS proxy
settings correctly in the advanced settings of your WLAN
access point.
Q: How do I check the signal quality of my WLAN
connection?
Select Menu > Connectivity > Conn. mgr. > Active data
connections > Options > Details. If the signal quality is
weak or moderate, you may encounter connection problems.

Q: Why do I have problems with the security
mode?
A: Check that you have configured the security mode
correctly, and that it is the same that the network uses. To

Connectivity > Conn. mgr. > Active data connections >
Options > Details.
Check also the following: you have the correct WPA mode
(preshared key or EAP), you have disabled all EAP types that
are not needed, and all the EAP type settings are correct
(passwords, user names, certificates).
