Logging into a public Wi‑Fi network automatically (WISPr)
You can set HTC Desire 500 to automatically log into a public Wi‑Fi network that you
regularly use. This saves you the trouble of going through the Wi‑Fi provider's web
authentication every time you connect to their Wi‑Fi network. Just add your login
credentials to the WISPr (Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming) settings.
The access point of the Wi‑Fi network needs to support the WISPr web portal.
Consult the Wi‑Fi provider for details.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Wi-Fi.
3. Tap > Advanced.
4. Under WISPr settings, select the Auto login option.
5. Tap WISPr account settings > Add a new account.
6. Tap each item onscreen to enter the service provider name, your login name
(with the full domain name), and password.
7. Tap > Save
8. Turn Wi‑Fi on, and then connect to the public Wi‑Fi network.
§ If you have access to several public Wi‑Fi networks, you can add up to five sets of
login credentials to the WISPr accounts list.
§ In the WISPr accounts list, press and hold an account to remove or edit it.
Connecting to a virtual private network (VPN)
Add virtual private networks (VPNs) so you can connect and access resources inside
a secured local network, such as your corporate network.
Before you can connect to your organization's local network, you may be asked to:
§ Install security certificates
§ Enter your login credentials
§ Download and install a required VPN app on HTC Desire 500
Contact your network administrator for details. Also, HTC Desire 500 must first
establish a Wi‑Fi or data connection before you can start a VPN connection.
