4. If required, enter the password for your Wi-Fi hotspot.
5. Tap Connect.
Your NOOK should now indicate that it is connected; you should see the Wi-Fi signal
indicator on the status bar on the bottom right next to the battery indicator.
If your Wi-Fi hotspot isn’t listed after you turn on Wi-Fi or is not in the list of
Wireless Networks, follow these steps:
1. From the status bar, tap the Settings gear icon.
2. Tap All Settings.
3. Tap Wireless & Bluetooth.
4. Tap Find Other Networks.
5. Tap Scan to refresh this list, or tap Add Network.
6. Enter the network service set identified (SSID), select the type of security (if
the Wi-Fi is secured), and enter the password for your Wi-Fi hotspot if nec-
essary. If you don’t know this information, ask the person who set up the
Wi-Fi network.
Your NOOK can connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot that requires you to browse to a web
page to authenticate yourself. For example, many hotel Wi-Fi hotspots require you to
enter a room number or other information to connect. You can connect to a Wi-Fi
hotspot that has this requirement by tapping the Web Launch Button from the Home
screen after you join the Wi-Fi network.
Does My NOOK’s Battery Drain Faster with Wi-Fi Connected?
I tested my NOOK’s battery life using Wi-Fi hotspots. In my testing, the battery
life was quite a bit shorter when using Wi-Fi than when not. However, Wi-Fi
affects battery life only when your NOOK is actually connected to a Wi-Fi
hotspot. Simply having Wi-Fi turned on doesn’t affect battery life.
You can significantly improve battery life by turning off Wi-Fi.
Disconnecting and Forgetting a Wi-Fi Hotspot
If you want to stop using a Wi-Fi hotspot, you have two options: disconnect or forget.
Disconnect just prevents your NOOK from connecting to that Wi-Fi hotspot.
Forgetting the hotspot removes the information about the hotspot from your NOOK.
