How Do I Access Wi


1. Turn on you cell phone.
2. Position yourself in a Wi-Fi area. Wi-Fi, which is wireless Internet access, can be in a variety of places, including your home, a local coffee shop, or a hotel.
3. Access the settings folder of your phone. Click the option to modify Wi-Fi settings. You can choose to turn Wi-Fi 'ON,' which signals your phone to search for existing Wi-Fi networks. It is important to note that some phones may automatically be set to search for Wi-Fi networks and connect automatically when capable, while others may not be set to automatically search for Wi-Fi. If you want your phone to automatically search and connect to Wi-Fi spots, leave Wi-Fi 'ON' and select the option to 'Ask to Join Networks.'
4. Choose a Wi-Fi network. (This will still be in the settings folder of your phone). For example, available networks may read 'Jones,' a local resident, or'Jerry's Carwash,' a local business offering free Wi-Fi.
5. Enter the security password, if necessary. Some Wi-Fi locations will require a password, while others will not. Local coffee shops or libraries usually do not require a password, while many residents or hotels do require them. If you are visiting a hotel or relative, simply ask for the password.
6. Look for the Wi-Fi symbol to appear on the top of your phone, near the signal strength. This symbol can vary, depending on the phone you own. Reference the owner's manual for a picture of the Wi-Fi symbol and where it will be located on your cell phone screen.
7. Launch your Internet browser, or other applications. These applications will now run at the faster Wi-Fi speed.
