You may receive access point settings in a message from a
service provider. Some or all access points may be preset for
your device by your service provider, and you may not be able
to change, create, edit, or remove them.
When you open one of the access point groups (
), you can see the access point types:
indicates a protected access point
indicates a packet data access point
indicates a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
Tip: You can create internet access points in a WLAN with the
WLAN wizard.

method and to define the settings needed.

Create access point groups
Select Menu
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
