Increasing Wi-Fi® signal strength
There are a number of things you can do to increase the strength of a Wi-Fi® signal:
•
Move your device closer to the Wi-Fi® access point.
•
Move the Wi-Fi® access point away from any potential obstructions or interference.
•
Do not cover the Wi-Fi® antenna area of your device (the highlighted area in the
illustration).
Your device can only connect to an FCC approved access point when using 5 GHz WLAN for
indoor and outdoor operation. This is because operation in the 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz
frequency band is only permitted for indoor use.
Wi-Fi® settings
When you are connected to a Wi-Fi® network or when there are Wi-Fi® networks
available in your vicinity, it is possible to view the status of these networks. You can
also enable your device to notify you whenever an open Wi-Fi® network is detected.
If you are not connected to a Wi-Fi® network, your device uses a mobile data
connection to access the Internet (if you have set up and enabled a mobile data
connection on your device). By adding a Wi-Fi® sleep policy, you can specify when
to switch from Wi-Fi® to mobile data.
