How to connect WIFI in Nokia 5800 Express Music?



In your phone go to...

Menu---> Settings ---> Connectivity --–> Destinations ---> Internet

On wireless network Name (PRIORITY:1 obviously i don't know what that may be, for me it was WA1003A)options edit advanced settings IPv4 settings options Change all the details, that can be copied from your computer.
To find them on your computer go to Start--->Run--->Type "cmd" in the run box when you get the command screen type "ipconfig/all" here you will get all the settings. Or view TCP/IP Properties of your connection to get the settings.

The setting phone needs is as follows:

1. Phone IP Address (enter your computer IP address, changing the last two digits to a number about five or six higher than than the original IP, for eg if my IP was 192.168.1.2 id change the ip in phone as 192.168.1.3 to stop IP conflict)
2. Subnet Mask (copy the same code from the computer to your phone)
3. Default Gateway (copy the same code from the computer to your phone)
4. DNS Address (Usually called "DNS Servers" on your computer! copy the same code from the computer to your phone, do not change anything. Ensure all numbers are in the correct places before and after the "."

WLAN Security Mode change to WEP.
WLAN Security Settings--->
WEP Key settings:
1. WEP Encryption-64 bits
2. WEP Key Format-Hexadecimal
3. WEP Key- You key (mine was abcde12345)

That's it enjoy browsing now through Menu--->Internet or other browsers you have!

  5. hi there

    do you know also how to tweak the send power of wifi? my old nokia e70 allowed my to configure 0.001watt or 0.01w or 0.1w to send... this would help a lot to have longer batterie power.
