Connect Wi-Fi

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, or hotspot. Some access
points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information. Others are
hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it
needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a static IP address
