Wi-Fi

To use Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or "hotspot".
The availability and strength of a Wi-Fi signal varies depending on objects the Wi-Fi
signal has to pass through (such as buildings or a wall between rooms).
Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network
1. From the Home screen, press
networks.
2. Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on.
HTC Cobalt then scans for available wireless networks.
3. Tap Wi-Fi settings.
Detected Wi-Fi networks will be listed in the Wi-Fi networks section.
If the wireless network that you want is not listed, tap Add Wi-Fi network to
manually add it.
4. Tap the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.
If you selected a secured network, you'll be asked to enter the network key or
password.
5. Tap Connect.
When HTC Cobalt is connected to the wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon
the status bar and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands that
light up).
The next time HTC Cobalt connects to a previously accessed secured wireless
network, you won't be asked to enter the key or other security information again,
unless you reset HTC Cobalt to its factory default settings.
Checking the wireless network status
1. From the Home screen, press
networks.
2. On the Wireless & networks screen, tap Wi-Fi settings, and then tap the wireless
network that HTC Cobalt is currently connected to.
A message box is then displayed showing the Wi-Fi network name, status, speed,
signal strength, and more.
If you want to remove the settings for this network, tap Forget. If you want to
reconnect to a wireless network that you have removed, you'll need to choose the
wireless network from the list of available Wi-Fi networks again. If it is a secured
wireless network, you'll need to enter the wireless network credentials again.
