Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network,
enable an encryption method, first on your access point
device or router, then on the other compatible devices you
intend to connect to your home network. Refer to the
documentation of the devices. Keep any passcodes secret
and in a safe place separate from the devices.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN
Internet access point in your Nokia N80, see ‘Access
points’, p. 97.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home
network with a compatible device, enable one of the
encryption methods in
WLAN security mode
when you
configure the Internet access point. This step reduces the
risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts to
connect to it and the home network. Do not accept
connection requests from an unknown device.
If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have
encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N80 files to other
devices, or do not share any private media files. For how
to change sharing settings, see ‘Home network’, p. 33.
