Add a Wi-Fi Network
You can add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does not broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to add
a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to obtain the password
or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap
> Add Wi-Fi.
3. Enter the Wi-Fi name (SSID) of the network. If the network is secured, tap the Security drop-
down menu and tap the type of security used for the network.
4. Enter the required passwords and security credentials.
5. Tap Connect.
The phone will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you
are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network.
To forget a Wi-Fi network:
You can also make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you have added. For
example, if you don't want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no
longer use.
1. Tap
>
>
Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi switch
to turn Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
3. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network.
4. Tap Forget network.
Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct supports a direct connection between Wi-Fi enabled phones without an access point.
Due to the high battery usage of Wi-Fi direct, it is recommended that you plug your phone into a
power outlet while using the Wi-Fi Direct feature.
