Hello all, most of the users might be familiar with the manual setting up of WLAN. If someone is there having problems with WLAN configuring then this post might help them. To configure a WLAN manually do the following.

Press the menu button then tap settings>connectivity>settings>destinations>options>new destination.

A box will appear type the destination name and then select any icon from the set of icons that is shown then tap the new destination that you have created then tapoptions>new access point.
An option will appear asking whether to "automatically check for available access points" if you are in the range of the WLAN then tap yes or else no. Generally use no.

Three options will be provided like WLAN or Packet data or VPN. Tap WLAN then enter the WLAN name then select the Network mode/status three options will be shown. Select infrastructure(public)[usually this is used]. If its an open network then tap open network(no key is needed for this) or else tap WPA/WPA2 then tap pre-shared key and enter the key. This will create the access point.

Now tap the access point then options>advanced settings>IPv4 settings. Tap the Phone IP address and enter the number. After this you will be provided with an option to enter the subnet mask and default gateway. Enter these numbers then tap back. Then tap proxy server number and enter the number that you had entered in the default gateway. Then enter the port number.

Then tap back and again back. To use this as the default connection tap options>default connections and select the one that has the WLAN access point as the default one. The IP address and default gateway number and proxy port number will be provided by the WLAN provider. Hope this helps.
