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 phone, you must connect to a wireless access
point, or “ hotspot. ” Some access points are open and you can
simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other
security features, so you must configure your phone so it can
connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it, to extend the life of your
battery.
The following Status bar icon indicates your Wi-Fi status.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network

Advanced. See “ Advanced Wi-Fi settings screen ” on page 242.
