Using Your NOOK at Wi-Fi Hotspots

In addition to connecting to your Wi-Fi network in your home or office, you can use your NOOK to connect to
Wi-Fi hot spots in shops, hotels and restaurants.
This section summarises how your NOOK works with various types of Wi-Fi hotspot.

Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will detect unsecured Wi-Fi networks close by. An unsecured Wi-Fi network does not require users to
enter a password in order to establish a connection. You can simply select the network and connect to it.

Secured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will also detect secured Wi-Fi networks. A secured Wi-Fi network requires users to enter a password
before they can connect to the network.
There are several different security protocols available for securing networks. Your NOOK recognises and supports
the most popular Wi-Fi security protocols, including:
• WEP
• WPA/WPA2 PSK
• 802.1x EAP
To connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, select it from a list of networks and enter its password when prompted.
NOTE: If you do not know the password for the network, ask the network administrator for help.
NOTE: To connect to a secured network, tap on its name. Your NOOK will display a password field. Type the
password and tap the tickmark button.
Proxied Wi-Fi Networks
Proxied Wi-Fi networks typically present a web page with terms and conditions, a login screen and possibly a
payment screen, before allowing you to connect to the network. You'll encounter this type of network in many
hotels, restaurants and airports. Your NOOK detects these networks. When you select a proxied network as a
connection, your NOOK automatically opens a dialog box in which you can read through any terms and conditions,
accept terms, perhaps enter credit card information and login credentials, and connect.
