Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device to the Internet. To use a WLAN connection, you must create an Internet access point (IAP) for the WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the Internet. When the device is in the Offline profile, you can still use a WLAN, if available.
Use the WLAN wizard to create an access point
The WLAN wizard helps you to find and connect to a wireless LAN. When you open the application, your device starts to scan for available WLANs and lists them.
- You can access the WLAN wizard directly from your home screen’s information area.
- Another way to get to the WLAN wizard is to select Ctrl. panel > Settings > Connection > Wireless LAN
- If the search finds WLANs, to create an Internet access point, scroll to the connection, select Options > Start web browsing.
If you select a secured WLAN, you will be asked to enter the relevant password. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier, SSID).
- To end the active connection, select the connection > Options and Exit.
If you want to define whether you want to use the WLAN or packet data connection when starting to browse the Web, you can set it so that the device always asks which access point is to be used.
