Enable WiFi/Disable WiFi: When you enable WiFi, the controller automatically scans for available
networks ( APs or access points ). For each network, you can see its name (or SSID), security protocol (if
secure) and signal strength.
Note: If your current location is not within range of a fixed WiFi network, you can enable a personal
hotspot on your cell phone. This allows other devices, including the P550c controller, to share your
phone’s data connection. (This method is also called data tethering.)
