Wi-Fi/WLAN connection
Your device can detect and connect to
wireless local area networks (WLAN).
Using a WLAN, you can connect your
device to the internet and compatible
devices that have WLAN support.
About WLAN
To use a Wi-Fi connection, it must be
available in the location, and your device
must be connected to Wi-Fi. Some WLANs
are protected, and you need an access key
from the service provider to connect to
them.
Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some
countries. For example, in France, you are
only allowed to use Wi-Fi indoors. For
more information, contact your local
authorities.
Features that use WLAN, or that are
allowed to run in the background while
using other features, increase the demand
on battery power and reduce the battery
life.
Important: Always enable one of
the available encryption methods to
increase the security of your wireless LAN
connection. Using encryption reduces the
risk of unauthorized access to 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#.

Select Menu > Settings and

The Wi-Fi/ WLAN wizard helps you to
