About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for wireless fidelity) is a term used for certain types
of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). These device types use
an 802.11 wireless specification to transmit and receive wireless
data. Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing and
accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either
be Open (unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured
(requiring knowledge of the Router name and password).
Turning Wi-Fi On
By default, your device’s Wi-Fi feature is turned on. Turning Wi-Fi
on makes your device able to discover and connect to compatible
in-range WAPs.
