Home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
architecture (UPnP). Using a wireless LAN access point
device or a wireless LAN router, you can create a home
network and connect compatible UPnP devices that
support wireless LAN to the network, such as your Nokia
N80, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and a
compatible sound system or a TV, or a sound system or TV
equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia receiver.
Please note that using the wireless LAN functionality of
the Nokia N80 in a home network requires a working
wireless LAN home connection setup and the other target
home devices to be UPnP enabled and to be connected to
the same home network.
You can share media files saved in Gallery with other
compatible UPnP devices using the home network. To
manage your Home netw. settings, press , and select
