Hi,

I've created a new access point for home wifi but i can't see it in access point list for wap ou web connexion. Of course I can force my home network as defaut by this is not what I'm looking for.

Any ideas ?

Regards

Are you sure your access point has been set up to be public (visible). Which hardware are you using ?

Sorry,

but the access point I was talking about is access point configuration within E61.
I've defined an acces point configuration for my network and everything is ok. The problem I encounter is when I want to choose to surf within my network instead of GPRS/UMTS.
The 'access point' entry I created is not visible from access point list during web/wap connection procedure.

The AP is only visible in the list IF it broadcasts the SSID OR you set it to "hidden" in the phone AP configuration.

Thanks Michael,

The AP broadcasts its SSID and I've also tried to set to "hidden" in the phone AP configuration "network state" field (sorry this is the translation from french). The AP still don't appear...
Did I forget something ?

Regards,

Antoine

I am afraid I have no suggestions then - I do assume the AP is 802.11b/g compatible, not just 802.11a ?
