About connecting to a Wi-Fi network

If you are in a Wi-Fi® coverage area and if your wireless service plan supports it, you might be able to access services (for example, email service) over a Wi-Fi network. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.

You can connect to a Wi-Fi network without saving the connection information, or you can save the connection information in a Wi-Fi profile.

About Wi-Fi profiles

A Wi-Fi® profile contains the information that you require to connect to a Wi-Fi network. You can have more than one Wi-Fi profile on your BlackBerry® device. For example, you can have one Wi-Fi profile that you use to connect to a Wi-Fi network at home and another Wi- Fi profile that you use to connect to your organization's Wi-Fi network. You can also have Wi-Fi profiles that you use to connect to Wi-Fi networks in public places such as community centers or libraries.

Your device tries to connect to Wi-Fi networks based on the order in which they appear in your Wi-Fi profile list.
