Using Your NOOK at Wi-Fi Hotspots
In addition to connecting to your Wi-Fi network in your home or oce, you can use your NOOK to connect
to public Wi-Fi hot spots in stores, restaurants, hotels, cafes, airports, and many other locations.
This section summarizes how your NOOK works with various types of Wi-Fi hotspots.
Wi-Fi Networks in Barnes & Noble Stores
Your NOOK will automatically detect a Wi-Fi network in a Barnes & Noble store and ask if you want to connect
to it. In-store Wi-Fi connections for NOOK devices are free and include exclusive features such as Read In Store and
More In Store. For more information, see “Using Your NOOK in a Barnes & Noble Store”.
AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots
Your NOOK will also automatically detect any AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot and ask if you want to connect to it.
Access to AT&T Wi-Fi hot-spots in the U.S. is free for NOOK GlowLight 3 devices.
Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks
Your NOOK will detect unsecured Wi-Fi networks close by. An unsecured Wi-Fi network does not require users
to enter a password in order to establish a connection. You can simply select the network and connect to it.
Secured Wi-Fi Networks
Your NOOK will also detect secured Wi-Fi networks. A secured Wi-Fi network requires users to enter a password
before they can connect to the network.
There are several dierent security protocols available for securing networks. Your NOOK recognizes and supports
the most popular Wi-Fi security protocols, including:
• WEP
• WPA/WPA2PSK
• 802.1xEAP
To connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, select it from a list of networks and enter its password when prompted.
NOTE: If you do not know the password for the network, ask the network administrator for help.
NOTE: If your NOOK will display dialog boxes that let you select a network and enter a password.
Proxied Wi-Fi Networks
Proxied Wi-Fi networks typically present a Web page with terms and conditions, a login screen, and possibly a payment
screen, before allowing you to connect to the network. You’ll encounter this type of network in many hotels, restaurants,
and airports. Your NOOK detects these networks.
When selecting a proxied network as a connection, your NOOK usually opens a dialog box in which you can read and
accept terms and conditions, perhaps enter credit card information and login credentials, and connect. However, this
behavior may vary from net-work to network.
