About home network

Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) and certified by Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
device or a WLAN router to create a home network.
Then you can connect compatible UPnP devices that
support WLAN to the network. Compatible devices may
be your mobile device, a compatible PC, sound system,
or television, or a compatible wireless multimedia
receiver connected to a sound system or a television.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home
network, you must have a working WLAN home
connection setup and have other UPnP enabled home
devices to connect to the same home network.

media server or retrieve media files from a compatible
home server. You can play music stored in your Nokia
