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 local area network
(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.
Note: Using WLAN may be restricted in
some countries. For example, in France,
you are only allowed to use WLAN
indoors. For more information, contact
your local authorities.
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.
Use encryption to increase the security
of your WLAN connection. Using
encryption reduces the risk of others
accessing 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.
