Setting up a Wi-Fi
®
connection
Many corporate organizations and public
environments, such as coffee shops,
airports, and libraries, offer access to a
Wi-Fi
®
network. A Wi-Fi network is a
wireless local area network (WLAN) based
on the 802.11 standard. When you
purchase an optional Wi-Fi SDIO card, you
can use your smartphone’s built-in
software to set up a Wi-Fi connection and
quickly connect your smartphone to a Wi-Fi
network when you’re within range of an
accessible Wi-Fi network.
Some Wi-Fi networks are known as open
networks because they broadcast their
name (SSID) and do not require a
password. Other Wi-Fi networks broadcast
their name but do require a password.
Networks that do not broadcast their name
are known as closed networks. Follow the
instructions for the type of network you
want to connect to.
