4 Touch a network to connect to it.
• If the network is open, you will be prompted to confirm that you
want to connect to that network by touching Connect.
• If the network is secured, you will be prompted to enter a
password. (Ask your network administrator for details.)
• When you’re connected to a network, you can touch the network
name in the Wi-Fi settings screen for details about the speed,
security, address, and related settings.
To receive notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive notifications in the Status Bar
when your phone detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1 Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
2 From the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Network notification to
checkmark the box.
Touch again to remove the checkmark, and stop receiving
notifications.
To add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with
any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in
range. You can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does not broadcast
its name (SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out
of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s
administrator to obtain the password or other required security
credentials.
1 Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
2 From the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network.
3 Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured,
touch the Security drop-down menu and touch the type of security
deployed on the network.
