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.
