Channel
The Nokia C110/C111 operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. You need to
specify a radio frequency channel on which the wireless LAN card is used. The
selection of available channels may vary from country to country, as certain
countries have a limited number of channels that can be used.
You can select the
Automatic channel selection
option when you are creating a
new profile with the Profile Wizard: you are automatically allocated an available
channel without needing to specify one. You can, however, also select the correct
channel yourself. In that case, make sure that the wireless LAN card and the access
point are using the same channel.
If you want to change the channel setting, go to the Profiles page and click

Connecting to a network
The Nokia C110/C111 Wireless LAN Card connects your computer automatically
to the access point and network that offer the best quality for communications. If
you move the computer to another location within the network and out of range of
the access point, the roaming functionality will automatically connect your
computer to another access point that belongs to the same network. As long as you
remain within range of access points that belong to the same network, your
computer will stay connected to the network.
Once you have installed the software for the Nokia C110/C111, you can connect to
a wireless LAN. For instructions on installing the Nokia C110/C111, please see the
Installation guide on the CD-ROM.
