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 
Home network
 settings, press 
, and 
select 
Tools
> 
Connectivity
 > 
Home media
 > 
Settings
. 
You can also use the home network to view, play, copy, or 
print compatible media files from 
Gallery
 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.
Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network, 
enable an encryption method on your access point device, 
then on the other 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 device, see ‘Access points’, p. 121.
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 N81 files with other 
devices, or do not share any private media files. To change 
sharing settings, see ‘Home media settings’, p. 78.
