Wireless LAN connections

To use wireless LAN, you must create an internet access
point (IAP) in a wireless LAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet. See
‘Wireless LAN access points’, p. 71.

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.

A wireless LAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a wireless LAN internet access
point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when you
close the last application using the connection. To end all
the connections simultaneously, see ‘Connection
manager’, p. 75.

You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when
packet data is active. You can only be connected to one
wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same internet access point.
