Manually Adding a Wi-Fi Network

1. From the Home screen, press

and then tap

Settings Wi-Fi Add Wi-Fi network.

2. Enter the Network SSID (the name of your Wireless

Access Point).

3. Tap the Security field and select a security option. This

must match the current security setting on your target

WAP.

4. Enter your WAP’s password if the WAP is secure.

5. Tap Save to store the new information and connect to

the target WAP.

Note: An SSID is a unique key which identifies a wireless LAN.

Its purpose is to stop other wireless equipment from
accessing your LAN — whether accidentally or
intentionally. To communicate, wireless devices must be
configured with the same SSID.

WPS Push Button

The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature (sometimes
associated with a physical or on-screen button on most
WAPs) allows you to pair your device and WAP without the
need for entering a passcode. This process is similar to Wi-Fi
Direct pairing.

In this case, once the WPS feature is active on your WAP,
your device can then detect it and then immediately pair to it.

Note: WPS-capable routers appear in the Wi-Fi list of available

devices with the term (WPS available) below their name.

To pair your device using WPS:

1. Follow the WPS activation instructions specific to your

Wireless Access Point.

2. From the Home screen, press

and then tap

Settings Wi-Fi.

3. Press

then tap WPS push button.

4. Once the connection is complete, confirm the external

router now appears in the Wi-Fi list as connected.
