Create Access Point Groups - Nokia N97 User Manual

You may receive access point settings in a message

be preset for your device by your service provider, and
you may not be able to change, create, edit, or remove
them.

Create access point groups

Select Menu Settings
>
Destinations.
Some applications allow you to use access point groups
for network connections.
To avoid selecting a single access point every time the
device makes a network connection, you can create a
group that contains various access points to connect to
that network and define the order in which the access
points are used.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and
packet data access points to an internet access point
group, and use the group for browsing the web. If you
give WLAN the highest priority, the device connects to
the internet through WLAN, if available, and through a
packet data connection if not.
To create a new access point group, select
Manage New destination.
