The Nokia E71 can connect to Wi-Fi networks using its built-in Wi-Fi antenna. The phone has an automatic Wi-Fi network setup wizard, but you can also set up the connection manually and specify the settings. Using a Wi-Fi router with a broadband connection gives you faster connection speeds than the cellular network, and the data does not count against the data transfer limit on your account.
Step 1
Click "Menu" and select "Connectivity." Open "WLAN wiz." and follow the on-screen directions to set up the connection automatically.
