Wi-Fi®

Use Wi-Fi® connections to surf the Internet, download applications, or send and receive

emails. Once you have connected to a Wi-Fi® network, your device remembers the

network and automatically connects to it the next time you come within range.
Some Wi-Fi® networks require you to log in to a web page before you can get access.

Contact the relevant Wi-Fi® network administrator for more information.
The signal strength of Wi-Fi® networks can differ. Moving closer to the Wi-Fi® access

point increases the signal strength.
Available Wi-Fi® networks may be open or secured:

Open networks are indicated by next to the Wi-Fi® network name.

Secured networks are indicated by next to the Wi-Fi® network name.

Some Wi-Fi® networks do not show up in the list of available networks because they do not

broadcast their network name (SSID). If you know the network name, you can add it manually

to your list of available Wi-Fi® networks.
