Viewing Wi-Fi Hotspots
With Airplane mode off and Wi-Fi on, your
NOOK
displays a
Wi-Fi hotspot
menu. When you tap
Wi-Fi hotspot
, your
NOOK
scans for hotspots. While it is scanning, the uppermost menu item reads
Scanning, please wait...
.When your
NOOK
has finished scanning, it displays a list of Wi-Fi hotspots
that are detected (in range and that have sufficient signal strength to connect to).
At the bottom of the hotspot list, your
NOOK
displays hotspots that are not in range, but that are
remembered. Remembered hotspots include those that have been detected before or configured,
and that have been connected to. If your
NOOK
is currently connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, that
hotspot has the word
connected
next to it.
Hotspots have the following indicator icons next to them:
•
An icon that gives the Wi-Fi signal strength (from low to high):
•
If the hotspot is secured, a lock icon is displayed:
A string next to the hotspot name describes the status of the hotspot:
•
connected
: Your
NOOK
is currently connected to this hotspot.
•
connecting
: Your
NOOK
is in the process of connecting to this hotspot.
•
remembered
: This hotspot has either been detected before and connected to or has been
manually configured. It is in range, but your
NOOK
is not connected to it.
•
not in range, remembered
: This hotspot has either been detected before and connected to
or has been manually configured, but it is not in range.
When Multiple Hotspots are In Range
When multiple Wi-Fi hotspots are in range, if you connect to more than one hotspot, your
NOOK
will preferentially use the last hotspot connected to. If you want to use a different hotspot, have
your
NOOK
forget the most recently defined hotspot.
For example:
1
Your
NOOK
detects your home hotspot, and you choose to connect to it.
