WLAN connection
When you access an application that requires an internet
connection, the device uses the wireless network
connections you have saved by default. If you have not
saved any connections, or they are unavailable, you are
asked to select the connection (internet access point) to
use. You can save the network after selecting it from the
list. However, if your network name is set as hidden, you
must configure the settings manually.
To set up a wireless network connection manually, tap ,
and select Settings > Control panel. In Control panel,
select Connectivity > Connections > New. The connection
setup wizard opens. Select Next to proceed.
1. In Connection setup: Name and type, define the
following:
Connection name—Enter a descriptive name for the
connection.
Connection type:—Select WLAN (wireless local area
network).
Select Next to proceed.
2. The device asks whether you want to scan for available
WLAN networks. Select Yes to start the scan, or No to
skip it.
If you select Yes, all available WLAN networks are
shown with information about each WLAN connection:
• Name of the WLAN network
• if the WLAN network is already defined for an
internet connection setup that you have saved in the
device
• WLAN signal strength
• Security level of the WLAN connection:
—No security (for example, a public access point in
an airport)
—Medium security (wired equivalent privacy WEP
authentication)
—High security (Wi-Fi protected access WPA
authentication, including WPA1 and WPA2)
The security level of the network affects the settings that are shown when you select Next.
