Wi-Fi

To use Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”. The
availability and strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on objects,
such as buildings or simply a wall between rooms, the Wi-Fi signal has to
pass through.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

1. Swipe down from the top edge of the screen with one finger.

2. Tap All settings > Wi-Fi.
3. Tap the Wi-Fi networking On/Off switch to turn Wi-Fi on.

You'll then see a list of available wireless networks.

4. Tap the wireless network you want to connect to.

§

If you selected an open network, your phone will
automatically connect to the network. Some Wi-Fi networks,
such as ones you might find in coffee shops, restaurants,
hotels, or elsewhere, may require you to enter a password in
your web browser before you can connect.

§

If you selected a secured network, enter the required
password and then tap done.

When you're connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi connected icon

appears in the status bar and shows you the signal strength indicated by
the number of bands that light up.
The next time you connect to the same secured wireless network, you
won’t be asked to enter the password or other security information again,
unless you do a factory reset.
