Wi-Fi

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, 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.

1.On the Start screen, tap  .

2.Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.

3.Tap the On/Off switch to turn it on. The phone then scans for the network names and security settings of detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section. The signal strength for each Wi-Fi network is also displayed.

4.Tap the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.

If you selected an open network, your phone will automatically connect to the network.

If you selected a network that is secured with WEP, enter the password and then tap done.

 Depending on the network type and its security settings, you may also need to enter more information or choose a security certificate.

You cannot manually add a Wi-Fi profile.

When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon ( ) appears for a brief moment on the status bar.

The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you won’t be asked to enter the key or other security information again, unless you reset your phone to its factory default settings.
