Connecting to networks
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network through WPS
If the network you want to connect is secured, you can also connect to it
through WPS instead of entering a network name (SSID) and wireless
security manually.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard for easy and secure setup of a
wireless home network. It enables you to establish a wireless network
connection by pushing the WPS buttons (either physical or virtual) on both
the access point and the new wireless client device.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network through WPS:
1. Click
WPS
in the
Wireless & network settings
.
2. Push the WPS button on the access point.
Receiving notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is turned on, you will receive notifications in the
Status bar when your device detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the
Wi-Fi settings
screen, check
Network notification
.
You can uncheck this option to stop receiving notifications.
Adding a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the device will remember it, along with any
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You
must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its
name (SSID), or to add a Wi- Fi network when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator
to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password
or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the
Wi-Fi settings
screen, check
Add Wi-Fi network
.
3. Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, click
the
Security
menu and then click the type of security deployed on the
network.
4. Enter any required security credentials.
5. Click
Save
.
The device will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that
you enter will be saved, so you can connect automatically the next time
you come within range of this network.
