Home network
Your device is compatible with UPnP architecture. Using a
wireless LAN access point device or a wireless LAN router,
you can create a home network and connect compatible
UPnP devices that support wireless LAN to the network,
such as your Nokia N81, a compatible PC, a compatible
printer, and a compatible sound system or TV, or a sound
system or TV equipped with a compatible wireless
multimedia receiver.

Using the wireless LAN function of the Nokia N81 in a
home network requires a working wireless LAN home
connection setup and the other target home devices to be
UPnP enabled and to be connected to the same home
network.
The home network uses the security settings of the
wireless LAN connection. Use the home network feature in
a wireless LAN infrastructure network with a wireless LAN
access point device and encryption enabled.
You can share media files saved in
Gallery
with other
compatible UPnP devices using the home network. To
manage your

You can also use the home network to view, play, copy, or
print compatible media files from
Gallery
. See ‘View and
share media files’, p. 79.
Important: 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.
Your device is connected to the home network only if you
accept a connection request from another compatible
device, or in
Gallery
, select the option to view, play, print,
or copy media files on your Nokia N81.
