Wifi connection question

Question

hi i am about to set up a wifi connection on my 5800 express.
i obviously have a wireless network at home via laptop and pc but what i would like to know is when the phone is connected to the system am i using my service providers connection or is it my mobile phone operators connection (orange) to browse the web.
Sorry if this is a simple question but i would just like to know before i connect asi dont really want to run up a bill on my mobile for the internet.

Answer 1

Your phone will use whichever provider you set it to use.
If you set up the WLAN access point correctly and use that to surf the 'net then it will use that. Presumably it's your normal ISP, not your mobile operator, on the other side of the wireless router.
If you leave Orange's packet data access point at a higher priority than the WLAN (by default, packet data is lower priority than WLAN) or if you don't install the WLAN at all, then the phone will use that instead.
When you have installed the WLAN access point, use the "Options" in the connectivity settings to make "Internet" your default destination. Make sure that the various applications you use are set to connect using the "default connection" where possible (these applications will try to use the WLAN first and then fall back on packet data if your WLAN isn't available). If an application doesn't allow you to set a destination as a preferred connection then set the WLAN explicitly.
