About using Wi-Fi with VPN and software tokens
If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device and if your organization uses a VPN to control access to its network, you might
be able to log in to the VPN and access your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled device,
you might also need a software token to connect to your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi technology troubleshooting
I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model, the Wi-Fi® feature might not be supported.
Try the following actions:
• Verify that you have turned on the connection to the Wi-Fi network.
• Verify that you are in a Wi-Fi coverage area.
• Verify that the time on your device is synchronized with the network time.
• If the Wi-Fi network does not appear in the Set Up Wi-Fi application, it might be hidden. If you know the network name,
try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.
• In the Set Up Wi-Fi application, verify that the options for the Wi-Fi network are correct.
• If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, switch to another Wi-Fi network or set your BlackBerry device to scan for
available Wi-Fi networks.
• If your wireless service provider supports UMA, verify that your connection preference is not set to Mobile Network
Only.
