Manage Connections

If the Wi-Fi network doesn't appear in the Set Up Wi-Fi application, it might be hidden. If you know the network name, try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.

In the Set Up Wi-Fi application, verify that the options for the Wi-Fi network are correct. To find out what options to use, for a home network, refer to the information that came with your router; for an enterprise Wi-Fi network, talk to your administrator; for a public hotspot, refer to any information provided for the hotspot or talk to an employee at the hotspot who might have details about how to connect.

If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, switch to another Wi-Fi network or set your smartphone to scan for available Wi- Fi networks.

If your wireless service provider supports Wi-Fi calling, verify that your connection preference isn't set to Mobile Network Only.

If your email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, your smartphone might prevent you from connecting to certain wireless access points. For more information, contact your administrator.

If you're using the Push Button Setup method, verify that the access point is enabled with Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and that it has been set to send its profile. Verify that another device isn't also attempting to connect at the same time, and that not more than one access point within range is in this mode. For more information, see the information that came with your router.

If you use PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-SIM to connect to a Wi-Fi network, verify that you installed the root certificate for the certificate authority server that created the certificate for the authentication server. The certificate must be transferred to your smartphone before you can connect to the network. For more information, talk to your administrator.

If you use EAP-TLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, verify that you added your authentication certificate to your smartphone. The certificate must be transferred to your smartphone before you can connect to the network. For more information, talk to your administrator.
