To check the current Wi-Fi network connection

3Flick the list and touch to select a Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.

4Enter a password (if necessary), then touch Connect to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

NOTE: To connect to a network protected by Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, or Wireless Protected Setup (WPS), you must enter the WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS security key to obtain authorized access to the network. The next time your device connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you will not be asked to enter the WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS key again, unless you reset your device to its factory default settings.

NOTE: Your device has the ability to maintain a constant Internet connection through Wi-Fi or data networks (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, or HSPA). However, Wi-Fi connection has priority over mobile network connection if both are available.
