Sharing Your Mobile Internet With Other Devices - Huawei Ascend XT User Manual

•
Connect to the network with the best signal: When Wi-Fi signal strength is poor or
your current Wi-Fi network is not reachable, your phone will automatically connect to
another available Wi-Fi network with a better signal. If no other Wi-Fi networks are
available and your mobile data is enabled, your phone will use mobile data (data
charges may apply). If the Wi-Fi signal strength improves, your phone will reconnect to
the Wi-Fi network.
•
Automatically turn Wi-Fi on or off: Your phone will automatically disable Wi-Fi
when you move out of range of a Wi-Fi hotspot (such as when you leave home). Wi-Fi
will be re-enabled when you return to the location of a previously used hotspot (such
as when you return home).
•
Monitor Wi-Fi network quality: Your phone will automatically monitor the signal
strength of nearby public hotspots.
