Connect to another device using Wi-Fi Direct
On the BlackBerry device that you want to connect to, on the Wi-Fi settings screen, the Wi-Fi Direct tab must be selected.
To connect to another type of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED device, view the documentation for that device.
Wi-Fi Direct can allow your device to connect to other BlackBerry devices without using access points or a router so you
can share files, such as media files, without an Internet connection.
Note: Although you can use Wi-Fi Direct to connect your device to other types of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices, apps on your
device might not be able to share files with other devices.
1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2.
Tap Settings > Networks and Connections > Wi-Fi.
3. If the Wi-Fi switch is off, turn on the switch.
4. Tap Wi-Fi Direct.
5. Tap the device you want to connect to.
To open the Wi-Fi Direct connection, the device you want to connect to must accept the invitation to connect.

adaptor or use an HDMI cable to connect your BlackBerry device to the other device.
1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2.

Add a VPN profile
You need a Wi-Fi or VPN connection before you can add a new VPN profile.
A VPN profile contains the information that you need to log in to your organization's network over a VPN or Wi-Fi
connection. You might have one or more VPN profiles on your BlackBerry device, depending on the options that your
administrator sets for you.
