Connect to Wi-Fi networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100
meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi, you connect to a wireless access point, or "hotspot." Some hotspots are open and you can
simply connect to them. Others implement security features that require other steps to set up, such as
digital certificates or other ways to ensure that only authorized users can connect.
To extend the life of your battery between charges, turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it. You can also
set your device to disconnect automatically from Wi-Fi networks when it's sleeping.
