Web and Data
Your phone’s data capabilities let you
wirelessly access the Internet or your
corporate network through a variety of
connections, including Wi-Fi, 3G, and Virtual
Private Networks (VPN). The phone also
allows you to share your 3G data service via
tethering and mobile hotspot.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over
distances of up to 300 feet. To use your
phone’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless
access point or “hotspot.”
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal
depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which
the signal passes.
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a
Wireless Network
Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to
enable your phone’s Wi-Fi radio and connect
to an available Wi-Fi network.
1. From the home screen, touch >
Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Touch the Wi-Fi slider to turn Wi-Fi on.
The phone will scan for available wireless
networks and the network names and
security settings of detected Wi-Fi
networks are displayed.
3. Touch a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you
selected an open network, you will be
automatically connected to the network. If
you selected a network that is secured
with a password, enter the password and
then touch CONNECT.
Depending on the network type and its
security settings, you may also need to enter
more information or choose a security
certificate.
When your phone is connected to a wireless
network, the Wi-Fi icon ( ) appears in the
status bar.
If Network notification in Advanced Wi-Fi
settings is enabled, this icon ( ) appears in
the status bar whenever the phone detects an
available open wireless network within range.
NOTE:
The next time your phone connects to a
previously accessed secured wireless
network, you will not be prompted to enter the
password again, unless you reset your phone
to its factory default settings or you instruct
the phone to forget the network.
NOTE:
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which
means no additional steps are required for
your phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It
may be necessary to provide a user name
and password for certain closed wireless
networks.
