Setting up a Wi-Fi connection
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.
The title bar on your smartphone displays an icon to show Wi-Fi
connection status.
