86 Connectivity

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 Wi-Fi network connection, it must be available in the location, and your
device must be connected to the Wi-Fi network. Some WLANs are protected, and
you need an access key from the service provider to connect to them.
Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in
France, you are only allowed to use Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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.
