Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your WLAN connection.
Using encryption reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
WLAN connections
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create an internet access point (IAP)
for WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a data connection using a WLAN
internet access point. The active WLAN connection ends when you end the data
connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data is active. You can only be
connected to one WLAN access point device at a time, but several applications can use
the same internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still use WLAN (if available). Remember
to comply with any applicable safety requirements when establishing and using a WLAN
connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device,
open the dialer and enter *#62209526#.

connection, to return to the web browser, select Continue web browsing.
To end the active connection, select the connection, and from the pop-up menu, select
