Using Your NOOK at Wi-Fi Hotspots

In addition to connecting to your Wi-Fi network in your home or office, you can use your NOOK to connect to Wi- Fi hot spots in stores, restaurants, hotels, and restaurants.

This section summarizes how your NOOK works with various types of Wi-Fi hotspots.

Wi-Fi Networks in Barnes & Noble Stores

Your NOOK will automatically detect a Wi-Fi network in a Barnes & Noble store and ask if you want to connect to it.

Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will detect unsecured Wi-Fi networks close by. An unsecured Wi-Fi network does not require users to enter a password in order to establish a connection. You can simply select the network and connect to it.

Secured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will also detect secured Wi-Fi networks. A secured Wi-Fi network requires users to enter a password before they can connect to the network.

There are several different security protocols available for securing networks. Your NOOK recognizes and supports the most popular Wi-Fi security protocols, including:

•WEP

•WPA/WPA2 PSK

•802.1x EAP

To connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, select it from a list of networks and enter its password when prompted.

NOTE: If you do not know the password for the network, ask the network administrator for help.

NOTE: If your NOOK will display dialog boxes that let you select a network and enter a password.

Proxied Wi-Fi Networks

Proxied Wi-Fi networks typically present a Web page with terms and conditions, a login screen, and possibly a pay- ment screen, before allowing you to connect to the network. You’ll encounter this type of network in many hotels, restaurants, and airports. Your NOOK detects these networks. When you select a proxied network as a connection, your NOOK automatically opens a dialog box in which you can read through any terms and conditions, accept terms, perhaps enter credit card information and login credentials, and connect.
