Sharing Information with a Connected Device
To share videos, photos, or other information with the
connected device, follow these steps:
1. View the information that you want to share. For
example, if you want to share a photo, find the photo in
your camera viewer or Files folder, then tap the Share,
Share via, or Send via option.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi Direct option.
The Wi-Fi Direct settings screen displays, Wi-Fi Direct
is turned on, and your device scans for other devices.
3. Tap a connected device name. For example,
Android_XXXX.
4. The other device displays a pop-up that indicates it is
receiving the file.
The file is transferred and can be found in Files within
the ShareViaWifi folder.
Note: Depending on the other device model, the prompts and
shared folder information may differ.

WPS Push Button
The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature (sometimes
associated with a physical or on-screen button on most
WAPs) allows you to pair your device and WAP without the
need for entering a passcode. This process is similar to Wi-Fi
Direct pairing.
In this case, once the WPS feature is active on your WAP,
your device can then detect it and then immediately pair to it.
Note: WPS-capable routers appear in the Wi-Fi list of available
devices with the term (WPS available) below their name.
To pair your device using WPS:
1. Follow the WPS activation instructions specific to your
Wireless Access Point.
2. From the Home screen, tap
3. Under Wireless and network, tap Wi-Fi.
4. Tap
Menu
WPS push button.
5. Once the connection is complete, confirm the external
router now appears in the Wi-Fi list as connected.
