Sharing Information with a Connected Device
To share videos, photos, or other information with the
connected device, follow these steps:
1. View the information that you want to share. For

option.
2. Tap the
Wi-Fi Direct
option.
The Wi-Fi Direct settings screen displays, Wi-Fi Direct
is turned on, and your device scans for other devices.
3. Tap a connected device name. For example,

4. The other device displays a pop-up that indicates it is
receiving the file.
The file is transferred and can be found in

within
the ShareViaWifi folder.

Depending on the other device model, the prompts and
shared folder information may differ.
WPS Push Button
The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature (sometimes
associated with a physical or on-screen button on most
WAPs) allows you to pair your device and WAP without the
need for entering a passcode. This process is similar to Wi-Fi
Direct pairing.
In this case, once the WPS feature is active on your WAP,
your device can then detect it and then immediately pair to it.
Note:
WPS-capable routers appear in the Wi-Fi list of available
devices with the term (
WPS available
) below their name.
To pair your device using WPS:
1. Follow the WPS activation instructions specific to your
Wireless Access Point.
2. From the Home screen, tap
Apps
➔
Settings
.
3. Under
Wireless and network
, tap
Wi-Fi
.
4. Tap
Menu
➔
WPS push button
.
5. Once the connection is complete, confirm the external
router now appears in the Wi-Fi list as connected.
