Wi-Fi

Tip: To access settings and the status of your services quickly, select the menu bar at the top of the main menu. In portrait mode, you can also tap the icons down the right hand side.

Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.

You see list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of range.

Select a Wi-Fi network to connect to or forget and to see the advanced options.

Advanced options

If you select the Advanced options button, you can change a range of settings including network security, proxy, and IP settings.

Network security

Depending on the type of Wi-Fi network, you may see just password, proxy, and IP settings. A more secure network, however, has extra security settings such as:

Important: These are advanced Wi-Fi network security options, so unless you fully understand what you are doing, please don't use these options.

Proxy

A proxy is a server that sits between your computer and a server. The proxy server intercepts data and processes it. It can accept the data and pass it onto the server, reject it, or handle it without it ever having to the reach the real server.

Your choices for proxy settings are None, Manual, and Auto-Config. Selecting Manual or Auto-Config reveals additional advanced options, so again, it is best not to use these unless you are sure of what these options mean.

IP Setting

You can choose to receive your IP address from a DHCP server or set it to be static.
