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.

To create a new access point, select

Access point

. The

device asks to check for available connections. After the

search, connections that are already available are shown and

can be shared by a new access point. If you skip this step, you

are asked to select a connection method and to define the

settings needed.
To edit the settings of an access point, open one of the access

point groups, and select an access point. Follow the

instructions from your service provider.

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.
