Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at
distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your
surroundings.

“hotspot.” Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them
without entering any information. Others are hidden or implement other security
features, so you must configure your device to connect to them.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the device obtains a network address and
other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To
configure the device with a static IP address and other advanced settings, press
