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 on your tablet, you need to access a wireless access point, or
“hotspot”. If access points are opened you can simply connect to them.
Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must
configure your tablet so it can connect to them.
There are numerous systems for securing Wi-Fi connections, including
some that rely on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only
authorized users can connect.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it to extend the life of your battery.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.
