Connecting to Wi-Fi networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters,
depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you access a wireless access point, or “hotspot.” Some hotspots are open and
you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must
configure your phone so it can connect to them. There are numerous systems for securing Wi-Fi
connections, including some that rely on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only
authorized users can connect. For information about installing secure certificates, see “Working with
secure certificates”.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery between charges.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it
needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a fixed IP address and
other advanced settings, press Menu and touch Advanced. See “Advanced Wi-Fi settings screen”.
Turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network
If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your phone, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically, so you
can skip to step 4.
1. Press Settings to open the Settings application.
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings.
3. Touch Check Wi-Fi to turn it on.
The phone scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it finds. Secured
networks are indicated with a Lock icon. If the phone finds a network that you connected to
previously, it connects to it.
4. Touch a network to connect to it.
If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to connect to that network by touching
Connect.
If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other credentials. (Ask your network
administrator for details.)
When you’re connected to a network, you can touch its name in the Wi-Fi settings screen for details about
the speed, security, address and related settings.
