Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a branded standard for wireless connecting electronic
devices. A Wi-Fi device, such as a personal computer, video
game console, smartphone, or digital audio player can connect to
the Internet via a wireless network access point. An access point
(or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (65 feet) indoors and
a greater range outdoors. Multiple overlapping access points can
cover large areas.
ᮣ To access the WiFi panel, click or touch the WiFi option in
the Network section of the panel.

A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the public name of your wireless
network. When enabled, others will see the wi-fi network name
in the list of available wireless networks. When disabled, others
will not see the wi-fi network name in the list of available
wireless networks. Click or touch to enable.
