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. Try again closer to the access point.
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
check the security mode the network uses, select Menu >
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).

briefly. What is happening?
