Connecting 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 on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point.
Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others
are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure
your phone so it can connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.
The following Status Bar icons indicate your Wi-Fi status.
Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection
strength).
Notification that an open Wi-Fi network is in range.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address
and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol.
To configure the phone with a static IP address and other advanced
settings, from Wi-Fi settings touch the Menu Key
> Advanced.
