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.
