About connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Depending on your wireless service provider or organization, you might be able to send and receive email messages and visit web pages
using a Wi-Fi® network. For more information, contact your wireless service provider or system administrator.
You can connect to a Wi-Fi network without saving the connection information, or you can save the connection information in a Wi-Fi
profile.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network at home or from a hotspot, you might need to use a VPN connection.
About Wi-Fi profiles
A Wi-Fi® profile contains the information that you require to connect to a Wi-Fi network. You can have more than one Wi-Fi profile on
your BlackBerry® device. For example, you can have one Wi-Fi profile that you use to connect to a Wi-Fi network at home and another Wi-
Fi profile that you use to connect to your organization's Wi-Fi network. You can also have Wi-Fi profiles that you use to connect to Wi-Fi
networks in public places such as community centers or libraries.
Your device tries to connect to Wi-Fi networks based on the order in which they appear in your Wi-Fi profile list.
