About connecting to a Wi-Fi network

If you are in a Wi-Fi® coverage area and if your wireless service plan supports it, you might be able to access services (for example, email service) over a Wi-Fi network. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.

You can connect to a Wi-Fi network without saving the connection information, or you can save the connection information in a Wi-Fi profile.

Connect to a Wi-Fi network

By default, new Wi-Fi® profiles appear at the bottom of your Wi-Fi profile list.

If your device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your organization might prevent you from connecting to a Wi-Fi network.

1.On the Home screen or in the application list, click Set Up Wi-Fi.

2.Perform one of the following actions:

•Click Scan for Networks. Click a network.

•Click Manually Add Network. Type the network name. Click Add.

•If you are using a network access point enabled with Wi-Fi Protected Setup™, click Push Button Setup.

3.Complete the instructions on the screen.

4.On the Wi-Fi Setup Complete screen, perform any of the following actions:

•To change the order of Wi-Fi profiles, click Prioritize Wi-Fi Profiles. To return to the Wi-Fi Setup Complete screen, press the Escape key.

•To specify registration information, click Wi-Fi Hotspot Login. To return to the Wi-Fi Setup Complete screen, press the Escape key.

5.Click Finish.

About Wi-Fi profiles

A Wi-Fi® profile contains the information that you require to connect to a Wi-Fi network. You can have more than one Wi-Fi profile on your BlackBerry® device. For example, you can have one Wi-Fi profile that you use to connect to a Wi-Fi network at home and another Wi- Fi profile that you use to connect to your organization's Wi-Fi network. You can also have Wi-Fi profiles that you use to connect to Wi-Fi networks in public places such as community centers or libraries.

Your device tries to connect to Wi-Fi networks based on the order in which they appear in your Wi-Fi profile list.

Wi-Fi profile security options

Security Type:

Set the security type that the Wi-Fi® network supports.
