Connecting to a computer
– even when it is later “hidden”. The
WiFi router/modem can then be set
back to “Hidden SSID”. In general,
hiding the SSID of your modem/router is
ineffective as a security measure so you
might as well just leave it on.
I have problems making a WiFi connection. What can I do?
- Check your Wifi router/modem by
using another Wifi device (ex: friend’s
laptop) to verify that your
router/modem is functioning properly.
- Check your WiFi router/modem
documentation to see if it has a pairing
button that needs to be pressed. Some
modems have such a button that must
be pressed the very first time you try to
make a WiFi connection with a new
device.
- Make sure that you are relatively close
to the modem/router to make your first
connection. Then later you can test to
see how far away you can make a
connection.
- Try connecting to a friend's WiFi
access point to see if reacts the same
way. If it connects, then you know that
you'll have to set your WiFi
router/modem with similar parameters.
- Turn off the Wifi then turn it back on
again. Go to Menu > Settings >
Wireless controls and uncheck Wi-Fi.
Wait until the small text below “Wifi”
says “Turn on Wi-Fi” and then check it.
Your WiFi access point should show up
as an item below this.
-If you have to enter a password (an
security code of type WEP or WPA) be
very careful that you do not confuse a 1
and I (one and letter “I”), a 0 and O
(zero and letter “O”), or U and V. These
are common mistakes.
- When entering a security code for your
