Home network
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play 
architecture (UPnP). 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 
N80, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, a compatible 
sound system, a compatible TV, or a sound system or TV 
equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia receiver.
After you have configured the home network, you can 
copy, view, or play compatible media files and print 
images in 
Gallery
 on the other connected compatible 
devices, for example, view images stored on your Nokia 
N80 on a compatible TV. See ‘Home network’, p. 34 and 
‘Image print’, p. 41.
To set up home networking in your wireless LAN, first 
create and configure your wireless LAN home internet 
access point, then configure the devices. On your Nokia 
N80, configure the settings in the 
Home netw.
 
application. See ‘Home network’, p. 34. To connect a 
compatible PC to the home network, on the PC, you must 
install the Home Media Server software from the CD-ROM 
supplied with your Nokia N80.
After you have completed the necessary configurations in 
all devices connected to the network, you can start using 
the home network. See ‘View media files’, p. 35.
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 or a router and encryption enabled.
 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.
To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN internet 
access point in your Nokia N80, see ‘Access points’, p. 105.
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. 105.
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.
