Packet data access points – Nokia 5800 User Manual

Page 73

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 Options > Manage > New destination.
To add access points to an access point group, select the group and Options > New

access point. To copy an existing access point from another group, select the group,

tap the relevant access point if it is not already highlighted, and select Options >

Organize > Copy to other dest..
To change the priority of an access point within the group, select Options >

Organize > Change priority.
