through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G, Data Services (3G Network), and Virtual
Private Networks (VPN).

Entertainment , and Tools and Calendar .
Connect Wi-Fi
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.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or 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 phone 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 phone obtains a network address and other
information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a
static IP address and other advanced settings, tap > Advanced Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi
settings menu.

network.
