Troubleshooting Wireless LAN Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point even though I know I'm within its range? A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID and have created a WLAN IAP for the network on your Nokia device. Q: How do I switch wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my Nokia device? A: You cannot switch off WLAN on your Nokia device. To reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your Nokia device does not scan for available networks. To turn off the background scan: 1 Press , and select Tools > Settings > Connection > Wireless LAN. 2 Select Scan for networks > Never. 3 To save your changes, select Done. When Scan for networks is set to Never, your Nokia device still listens to available networks, and you can use available WLAN networks as usual. Copyright © 2007 Nokia. All rights reserved. 117
