    Unauthorized devices on home network

    This is more for settings that need to be done to your ISP modem.

    Windows out of the box does not have those types of features.

    Below is a link with how to make your network more secure.

    NOKIA C6 wifi code or key

    @HLVSasori14



    I assume you want to get connected to your home wift/ wlan router. Setting up WLAN in C6 is similar to using a laptop on wifi. If you want to get connected to public wifi network or to an available wifi network, then the service provider should provide
    you with the key.



    If you want to setup your home wifi router, you need to check for the network key under the Wireless-Security section in your home wifi router.



    Login as "admin" to your router, normally configured at
    http://192.168.1.1    ; go to the Wireless-Security section...

    SSID : <Name of your wifi router/ network>

    Network authentication: open

    WEP encryption: enabled

    encryption strength: 64

    current network key: 1

    Network key 1: <wifi network key>



    The wifi network key has to be entered when your Nokia C6 asks for it (normally you have to give it during the first time setup of wireless in C6).



    Hope this helps!
