2.4 How do I connect my phone to a Wi-Fi hotspot with a
static IP address to access the Internet?

Wi-Fi
. On the WLAN screen, touch the
desired hotspot. In the displayed dialog box, select
Show advanced options
. Select
Static
for
IP settings
. Enter the IP address (mostly 192.168.1.***), gateway address (mostly
192.168.1.1), subnet mask or network mask (255.255.255.0), and domain name (DNS
address).
When your phone uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to access the Internet
over Wi-Fi, it must wait for the router to assign it a dynamic IP address, which takes time. By
specifying a static IP address for your phone, this issue is resolved.
