Connectivity 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 wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be available in the location, and your device must be connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you need an access key from the service provider to connect to them. 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. There might be some restrictions for Wi-Fi use in some countries. Check with your local authorities for more information. Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device, enter *#62209526# in the home screen. 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.

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 wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be
available in the location, and your device must be
connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and
you need an access key from the service provider to
connect to them.
There might be some restrictions for Wi-Fi use in some
countries. Check with your local authorities for more
information.
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, enter
*#62209526#
in the home screen.
