Enabling WiFi

When you launch an Internet application such as “Internet”>“Web”, the ARCHOS will scan for available WiFi networks. If it finds a pre-configured one, it will connect to it.

The first time you use your device, you may get a message “No configured net- work found”. Select “View available networks”, and the list of available networks will be displayed.

If you get the message “Could not connect to any WiFi network!”, select “View available networks”, and the list of available networks will be displayed.

You can also use the “Internet”>“Connection” menu if you want to display available networks and configure them manually.
