 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 device; or in

Important security information
When you configure your wireless LAN home network, 
enable an encryption method, first 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 IAP in 
your Nokia device, see ‘Access points’, p. 114.
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 IAP. 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 files with other devices, or 
do not share any private media files. To change sharing 
settings, see ‘Home network settings’, p. 95.
UPnP wizard
When you access the home network application for the 
first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define 
the home network settings for your device. To use the 
setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select 
Options
 > 
Run wizard
, and follow the instructions on the 
display.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the 
PC, you must install the Home Media Server software from 
the DVD-ROM supplied with your device.
Home network settings
To share media files saved in

 with other 
compatible UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must 
create and configure your wireless LAN home IAP; then
