About home network

Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play

(UPnP) and certified by Digital Living Network Alliance

(DLNA). You can use a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point

device or a WLAN router to create a home network.

Then you can connect compatible UPnP devices that

support WLAN to the network. Compatible devices may

be your mobile device, a compatible PC, sound system,

or television, or a compatible wireless multimedia

receiver connected to a sound system or a television.
To use the WLAN function of your device in a home

network, you must have a working WLAN home

connection setup and have other UPnP enabled home

devices to connect to the same home network.

After setting up your home network you can share

photos, music, and video with your friends and family

at home. You are also able to store your media to a

media server or retrieve media files from a compatible

home server. You can play music stored in your Nokia

N96 using a DLNA certified home stereo system,

controlling the playlists and volume levels directly from

your Nokia N96. You can also view images captured

with the camera of your Nokia N96 on a compatible TV

screen, all controlled with the Nokia N96 over WLAN.
The home network uses the security settings of the

WLAN connection. Use the home network feature in a

WLAN infrastructure network with a WLAN access point

device and encryption enabled.
You can share and synchronise media files in your

mobile device with other compatible UPnP devices

using the home network. To enable the home network

functionality and manage the settings, press
