network and connects to it automatically the next time you're within range.
1. On the Status bar, tap > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the network you want to connect to.
To only see networks that don't require a password, in the Networks drop-down list, select Open Networks.
3. If necessary, type the network password.
4. Tap Connect.

networks.
