NOTE:

Your smartphone has the ability to maintain a constant internet

connection through Wi-Fi or mobile networks (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or
HSPA). However, Wi-Fi connection has priority over mobile network
connection if both are available.

To check the current Wi-Fi network connection

From the status bar:

When your smartphone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi

icon

in the status bar indicates the signal strength (number of

bands that light up). If Wireless & networks

→ Wi-Fi settings→

Network notification is enabled, the

icon appears in the status

bar as the smartphone discovers an accessible Wi-Fi network within
range.

From the Wi-Fi network:

1

Touch the Home button

→ Menu button → Settings→

Wireless & networks

→ Wi-Fi settings.

2

Touch the Wi-Fi network that the smartphone is currently
connected to (labeled Connected). A window opens displaying
the Wi-Fi network’s name, status, security info, signal strength,
link speed, and IP address.

NOTE:

If you want to disconnect the Wi-Fi network from your

smartphone, touch Forget on the window. You will need to configure
the Wi-Fi settings again if you want to restore connection to this wireless
network.

To connect to another Wi-Fi network
