Your device's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network through
a variety of connections, including:
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 device, you must connect to a wireless access point, or “hotspot.” Some access
points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information. Others are
hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your device to connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the device obtains a network address and other information it
needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the device with a static IP address and
other advanced settings, press >
