Configuring and Using Wi-Fi Hotspots
This section explains procedures for configuring and using Wi-Fi hotspots.
To determine the Wi-Fi connection status and signal strength:
If your
NOOK
is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, the status bar contains an icon that gives the Wi-Fi
signal strength (from low to high):
The connection status and signal strength are also shown at the top level of the Wi-Fi application
on the reading screen, and in the
Wi-Fi hotspot menu.
To view the currently connected Wi-Fi hotspot:
If your
NOOK
is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, the name is displayed at the top level of the Wi-Fi
application on the reading screen, next to Wi-Fi hotspot on the Settings summary, and in the
Wi-Fi hotspot menu in the Wi-Fi application and in Settings.
To connect to a detected Wi-Fi hotspot:
Your
NOOK
automatically connects to AT&T hotspots, including those in Barnes & Noble
Bookstores, and to detected Wi-Fi hotspots that you have previously connected to or configured.
For other hotspots, tap wi-fi > Wi-Fi hotspot . After your
NOOK
scans for and displays detected
hotspots, tap the hotspot in the menu and then tap Connect . If no password is needed to connect,
your
NOOK
connects to the hotspot. If a password is needed to connect, your
NOOK
prompts
for it. Type the password and then tap Submit . You only need to enter the password for a secure
hotspot one time.
