Establishing a WLAN connection

This chapter describes how you can establish a WLAN connection. It uses a Web browser connection as an example, but other kinds of WLAN connections, such as an ad hoc connection to your printer, work the same way.

To establish a WLAN connection:

1. Make sure you have a valid user name and password for the network and that you have created a WLAN IAP as described in "Creating a WLAN Internet Access Point for a WLAN access point".
2. Switch on your Nokia device.
3. Select Menu > Web.
4. Enter the URL of the Web page that you want to visit, and press Go to.
5. If necessary, select the IAP you created previously, or select Search for WLAN to select from all available WLANs.
6. When your browser is redirected to the authentication page, enter your user name and password. You can now use the connection just like any other connection. If you experience problems with the WLAN connection, make sure that you are within the range of the access point.
7. When you are finished, press Options > Exit. to close the connection and the browser.
   To close the connection, but leave the browser open, Options > Advanced options > Disconnect.
