Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access
at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your
surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point.
Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others
are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure
your phone so it can connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
The following Status Bar icons indicate your Wi-Fi status.

address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP
protocol. To view advanced settings, from Wi-Fi settings touch the Menu
Key > Advanced or touch and hold the connected network > Modify
network and check the Show advanced options.
