Wireless LAN

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.
Your device can detect and connect to a wireless local
area network (WLAN). To use a WLAN, a network must
be available in the location and your device must be
connected to it.
WLAN connections
To use a WLAN, you must create an internet access
point in a 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 access point. The active WLAN
connection is ended when you end the data
connection. You can also end the connection manually.
You can use a WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data connection is active. You can only be connected to

use a WLAN, if available. Remember to comply with any
applicable safety requirements when establishing and
using a WLAN connection.
If you move the device to another location within the
WLAN and out of range of a WLAN access point, the
roaming functionality can automatically connect your
device to another access point that belongs to the same
WLAN. As long as you remain within range of access
points that belong to the same network, your device
can stay connected to the network.
Tip: To check the unique media access control
(MAC) address that identifies your device, for
example to configure the MAC address of your
device to a WLAN router, enter *#62209526# in
the home screen. The MAC address is displayed.
