Wireless LAN

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 wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be available
in the location, and your device must be connected to the
WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you need an access
key from the service provider to connect to them.
There might be some restrictions for WLAN use in some
countries. Check with your local authorities for more
information.
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.
Important: Always enable one of the available
encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless
LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of
unauthorised access to 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.
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, enter
*#62209526# in the home screen.
