Enable WiFi/Disable WiFi: When you enable WiFi, the controller automatically scans for available
networks (APs or access points). For each network, you can see its name (or SSID), security protocol (if
secure) and signal strength.
Note: If your current location is not within range of a fixed WiFi network, you can enable a personal
hotspot on your cell phone. This allows other devices, including the P550c controller, to share your
phone’s data connection. (This method is also called data tethering.)
