Saved Networks

When  you  connect  to  a  wireless  network,  you  can  save 
its  settings  so  that  it  will  be  easier  to  reconnect  to  the 
network at a later time. This is most helpful with hidden 
networks; if you do not save a hidden network’s settings, 
you will have to enter the SSID and security key. 

To save a network, select 

Remember this network 

in the 

Connected  to  Your  Network

  screen  (the  last  screen  that 

appears when you connect to a network).
