Barnes & Noble BNRV300 manual Configuring Wireless Settings, Turning Wi-Fi Networking On or Off

Configuring Wireless Settings

The Wireless settings screen provides:

•a switch for turning on and off Wi-Fi networking

•a list of all the Wi-Fi networks your NOOK has detected

Turning Wi-Fi Networking On or Off

On the Wireless settings page, tap the Wi-Fi button to change its status from On to Off or from Off to On.

NOTE: If Wi-Fi networking is turned off, you will not be able to access the Shop, share information with friends, download new books, magazines, or newspapers, or perform any other action that requires a live network connection.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

When Wi-Fi networking is turned on, the Wireless settings page displays a list of the Wi-Fi networks it detects. The list includes the name of the network and a wireless connection icon (a stack of curved lines). The darker the lines in the wireless connection icon, the stronger the network signal is for that network.

A lock symbol indicates that a network is secured with a password. To connect to a secured network, you will need to enter the network’s password. If you do not know the network’s password, ask the network administrator.

To connect to a network, do this:

1.Tap on the network’s name.

If the network is secured, a dialog box appears, asking for a Wireless password. Tap in the password box, then use the keyboard that appears at the bottom of the screen to enter the network’s password.

2.Tap Connect.

For a list of network security protocols supported by your NOOK, see “Secured Wi-Fi Networks”.
