Connecting to Wi-Fi Hotspots
Your NOOK can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots as follows:
•Your NOOK automatically detects and connects to Wi-Fi hotspots in Barnes & Noble Bookstores.
•Your NOOK automatically detects and connects to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots in the United States.
•Your NOOK automatically detects Wi-Fi hotspots that broadcast their network name (Service Set Identifier, or SSID). It does not automatically connect to them, but in Settings you can choose to connect to one of them. After you have chosen to connect to a hotspot, your NOOK connects to it automatically in the future. If you no longer want to connect to a hotspot automatically, you can ask your NOOK to forget the hotspot.
•You can configure one or more Wi-Fi hotspots, irrespective of whether they broadcast their SSIDs. For example, you can configure Wi-Fi settings for a home network or the coffee shop around the corner. If you configure other Wi-Fi hotspots, your NOOK automatically connects to them.
For a secured hotspot, you must provide the credentials needed to connect—the network name (SSID), security type, and security code.
•Your NOOK can use most Wi-Fi hotspots that require acceptance of terms and conditions or that require you to enter additional information for authentication (such as an account number or a room number at a hotel) or payment information. When you attempt to connect to such a hotspot, you are prompted to launch the web browser to supply the required information. After you complete that step, your NOOK connects to the hotspot.
