Wi-Fi network options

For most Wi-Fi® networks, you won't need to change the network options. If you're having trouble connecting or if you need to connect manually, you can set the network options yourself.

The options available depend on the type of network you're connecting to. To find out what settings to use, if you're connecting to a home network, see the information that came with your Wi-Fi router; if you're connecting to an enterprise Wi- Fi network, talk to your administrator; if you're connecting to a hotspot, see the information provided about the hotspot or talk to an employee at the hotspot who might have details about how to connect.
