Connecting to WiFi

Your Sansa Connect makes it easy to connect to WiFi networks. When a WiFi connection is needed (for
instance, to play Internet Radio), the Sansa Connect will automatically look for a network and try to
connect.

When starting the WiFi connection, your Sansa Connect will find all
of the WiFi networks in range. Networks will be listed in order of
signal strength (highest first), and protected networks (which require
a password) are indicated by the lock icon.
If one or more networks are found that you have successfully
connected to in the past, the Sansa Connect will automatically select
the network with the strongest signal strength, and this screen will be
skipped.

If the network requires a password, the Enter Password screen will
appear. To start entering the password, turn the thumbwheel to
highlight the first character, and press SELECT. If you need to
change from uppercase letters to lowercase, or to find a special
character, press the LEFT button. Continue selecting letters until the
password is complete, and press the RIGHT button.

Your Sansa Connect will automatically save passwords for you. If
you’re connecting to a network that you’ve already entered the
password for, this screen will be skipped and the saved password will
be used.

A similar screen will appear when you need to sign in to Yahoo! and
have to provide your Yahoo! ID or password.


Once you’re connected to WiFi, the WiFi signal strength meter at the bottom of the screen will show how
reliable the connection is. More green bars indicate a stronger signal.
