Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that provides
access to local area networks. Use your device’s Wi-Fi
feature to:
•
Access the Internet for browsing or to send and receive email.
•
Access your corporate network.
•
Use hotspots provided by hotels or airports while traveling.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing Wireless
Access Point (WAP). WAPs can be Open (unsecured, as with
most hotspots) or Secured (requiring you to provide login
credentials). Your device supports the 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
protocol.
