Enter a password (if necessary), then touch Connect to connect
to the Wi-Fi network.

NOTE:

To connect to a network protected by Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, or Wireless Protected Setup
(WPS), you must enter the WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS security key to obtain
authorized access to the network. The next time your device connects to
a previously accessed secured wireless network, you will not be asked to
enter the WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS key again, unless you reset your device
to its factory default settings.

NOTE:

Your device has the ability to maintain a constant Internet

connection through Wi-Fi or data networks (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, or
HSPA). However, Wi-Fi connection has priority over mobile network
connection if both are available.

and IP address.

NOTE:

If you want to disconnect the Wi-Fi network from your device,

touch Forget on this window. You will need to configure the Wi-Fi
settings again if you want to restore connection to this wireless network.
