 Important: Always enable one of the available 
encryption methods to increase the security of your 
wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk 
of unauthorised 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 N95 or search for other 
devices in the 
Home network
 folder.
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. 128.
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 N95 files with other 
devices, or do not share any private media files. To change 
sharing settings, see ‘Home network settings’, p. 68.
Home network settings
To share media files saved in 
Gallery
 with other compatible 
UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must create and 
configure your wireless LAN home Internet access point, 
then configure the 
Home netw.
The options related to 
Home netw.
 are not available in 
Gallery
 before the 
Home netw.
 settings have been 
configured.
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.
