Nokia E65 - Manual (Page 67)

When Start Web browsing is selected, the WLAN wizard automatically creates an internet access point (IAP) for the selected
wireless LAN. The IAP can also be used with other applications requiring wireless LAN connection.
If you select a secured wireless LAN network, you are asked to enter the relevant passcodes. To connect to a hidden network,
you must enter the correct hidden service set identifier (SSID).
You can also start the WLAN wizard separately to get more information on wireless LANs within range. Select
Menu >
Connect. > WLAN wiz. . Found networks are displayed.
Scroll to the desired network, select Options , and from the following:
• Start Web browsing or Cont. Web browsing — Start or continue browsing the web using the IAP of the wireless LAN.
• Disconnect WLAN — Disconnect the active connection to the wireless LAN.
• Refresh — Update the list of available wireless LANs.
• Details — View the details of the wireless LAN.
• Define access point — Create an internet access point without starting the web browser.
Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your data.
