Increasing Wi-Fi® signal strength
There are a number of things you can do to increase the strength of a Wi-Fi® signal:
• Move your device closer to the Wi-Fi® access point.
• Move the Wi-Fi® access point away from any potential obstructions or interference.
•
Don't cover the Wi-Fi® antenna area of your device (the highlighted area in the

Virtual private networks (VPNs)

Use your device to connect to virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow you to
access resources inside a secured local network from a public network. For example,
VPN connections are commonly used by corporations and educational institutions for
users who need to access intranets and other internal services when they are outside
of the internal network, for example, when they are travelling.
