Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network,
enable an encryption method, first on your access point
device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to
your home network. Refer to the documentation of the
devices. Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place
separate from the devices.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN internet
access point in your Nokia device, see "Access points", p. 101.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home
network with a compatible device, enable one of the
encryption methods in
WLAN security mode when you
configure the internet access point. This step reduces the
risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts to connect
to it and the home network. Do not accept connection
requests from an unknown device.
If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have
encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N93 files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files. To change
sharing settings, see "Home network settings", p. 85.
