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, open the dialer and enter
*#62209526#.

Operating modes
There are two operating modes in Wi-Fi
WLAN: infrastructure and ad hoc.
The infrastructure operating mode allows
two kinds of communication: wireless
devices are connected to each other
through a Wi-Fi/WLAN access point
device, or wireless devices are connected
to a wired LAN through a Wi-Fi/WLAN
access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can
send and receive data directly with each
other.
