WLAN Connection Manager

[Keepy]

Hello

I have been hunting the net for a while not for a peice of software iv been looking for, im not sure if it exsists but if it does im sure somebody here will know about it.

What I am looking for is a peice of software that will keep and eye on wireless connections and if found would do something like to following.
i)check of internet is available
ii)notify me it is available
iii)check emails ect

I think you get the idea, any suggestion of any software anything like this would be great.

You can set up many connections for WiFi on your N95.

Are you talking about constantly scanning for unsecured networks and automatically using them for your tasks? If so you *might* not get much help around here, many consider that action as dubious at best.

Im talking about free hotspot in hotels, cafes, city centers and the likes.
The reason I am asking is because I tour alot and spend alot of time in hotels ane venues, also is i self employed i need to stay in contact as much as possible, and because i am lazy i would like to it without thinking.

i set the WLAN wiz. as a shortcut on the Right Selection Key. so its activated by a button, and when i want it. wireless really is a battery sucker and you dont want it scanning all the time

Not sure on this one, there's a huge thread here somewhere. I'm in the camp of using it for legitimate purposes shouldn't be discouraged. But abuse, the same as anywhere, should be frowned upon. I mean, toilet roll in the public toilet is free to use, but if you steal the whole roll, that's just naughty. Tap water in the school WC is free, but if you leave the tap running all day, you should be pulled up.

See where I'm going? In the UK, it's know as "Taking the piss".

But, FON are working to create as many free* wifi points worldwide as possible. They've already teamed up with BT here in the UK and there are literally thousands of points knocking about. Fantastic scheme.

Their devices allow you to share some of your broadband with members of the FON community. Check it out.

Back to business though, they have a utility... Nokia MOSH: FON Symbian Connection Manager 2.0
Which will automatically hook up to "FONspots", but will allow manual connection at the least to other unsecure spots. Not sure if it can just hook you up to unsecure AP's. Worth a try though. Certainly a good tool for scanning.

That's a clever thought! I'll pass the idea onto FON. If there's a way to do it, I'm sure they would be keen.
