WLAN connection
When you access an application that requires an internet connection, the device uses the WLAN connections you have saved by default. If you have not saved any connections or they are unavailable, you are asked to select the connection (internet access point) to use. You can save the network after selecting it from the list. However, if your WLAN network name is set as hidden, you must configure the settings manually.
To define WLAN connections manually, tap 
, and select Tools > Control panel > Connectivity > Connections > New. The welcome page of the internet setup wizard is displayed. Tap Next to proceed to the Connection setup: Name and type dialog.
1.Define the following settings:
Connection name:—Enter a descriptive name for the connection.

2.Tap Next. The device asks whether you want to scan for available WLAN networks. Tap Yes to start the scan, or No to skip it.
If you select Yes, all available WLAN networks are shown after the scan with information about each WLAN connection:
•Security level of WLAN connection:
—No security (for example, a public access point in an airport)
—Medium security (wired equivalent privacy WEP authentication)
The security level of the network affects the settings that are shown when you tap Next.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
