Add a Wi-Finetwork, Forget a Wi-Finetwork

Add a Wi-Fi network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range of it.

To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required security credentials. For more information about installing secure certificates, see “Working with secure certificates” on page 74.

1Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.

If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your phone, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically.

2In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the list of discovered networks).

3Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, touch the Security menu and then touch the type of security deployed on the network.

The phone connects to the wireless network. Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network.

Forget a Wi-Fi network

You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you added— for example, if you don’t want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.
