8.1 Ways of Connecting to the Internet

Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your corporate network through Wi-Fi, GPRS/3G (or EDGE when available), or dial-up. You can also add and set up a VPN or proxy connection.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters (300 feet). To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.

Note The availability and range of your device’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects through which the signal passes.

To turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network

1.On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Communications.

2.Tap Wi-Fi. Detected wireless networks are displayed on the screen.

3.Tap the desired Wi-Fi network.

If you selected an open (unsecured) network, you are automatically connected to the network.

If you selected a secured network, enter the security key and then tap Done. You are then connected to the network.
