connect to an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi or connect directly to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
NOTE: The alphabet following 802.11 determines the frequency used, speed at which data transfer
takes place, and the signal range for the Wi-Fi-enabled device.
Use Wi-Fi to complete these tasks:
●
Access the Internet.
●
Send and receive e-mail.
●
Access corporate network information.
●

Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.

communications, such as Bluetooth devices, might require separate hardware together with a Wi-Fi
infrastructure and a service contract.
