Setting up a Wi-Fi Connection

To browse the Internet and access web-based utilities such as instant
messaging, you need to set up a Wi-Fi connection.

To connect your device to a Wi-Fi network, you need access to a
wireless point or “hotspot” within a distance of up to 300 feet
(100 meters).

NOTE:

The range and quality of the Wi-Fi signal is affected by the

number of connected devices, infrastructure, and objects through which
the signal is transmitted.

Touch Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security settings

To connect to a network protected by Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, or Wireless Protected Setup

authorized access to the network. The next time your device connects to
a previously accessed secured wireless network, you will not be required

device to its factory default settings.

connection through Wi-Fi.
