Create access point groups

Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity >

Destinations.

Some applications allow you to use access point groups

for network connections.

To avoid selecting a single access point every time the

device makes a network connection, you can create a

group that contains various access points to connect to

that network and define the order in which the access

points are used.

For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and

packet data access points to an internet access point

group, and use the group for browsing the web. If you

give WLAN the highest priority, the device connects to

the internet through WLAN, if available, and through a

packet data connection if not.

To create a new access point group, select Options >

Manage > New destination.

To add access points to an access point group, select

the group and Options > New access point. To copy

an existing access point from another group, select the

group, tap the relevant access point if it is not already

highlighted, and select Options > Organise > Copy

to other dest..

To change the priority of an access point within the

group, select Options > Organise > Change

priority.
