Saved Networks
The Saved Networks list displays all of the Wi-Fi networks that are saved on your
phone. If you set up your phone for automatic connections, you automatically
connect to a Wi-Fi network on your
Saved Networks List
each time you are within
range of that network. On the Saved Networks List, a
indicates
a network to
which you are currently connected.
Important!:
Networks displayed on the Saved Networks List are networks that are saved and not
necessarily those that are in range and available. Editing a saved network's profile name will
not affect the ability to connect to that network. However, changing the SSID field or security
settings will impact the ability to connect.
If you change the router settings, you can edit the phone's profile with the new setting or you
can create a new phone profile.
Note:
The Samsung phone has 2 Default profiles on the Saved Networks list:
HotSpot
and
@Home
. This
will allow the phone to automatically connect at the T-Mobile HotSpot locations and out-of-the-box to
your unsecured T-Mobile router.
