Internet

Learn how to create wireless connections and browse the web while keeping your data costs down.

Define internet connections

Does your network service provider charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on a pay-as-you-use

basis? Change the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs while roaming and at

home.

Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption

reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
