User Guide
To use a VPN Profile when connecting to the network, select the profile that you want to use.
Band Type
This field is set to Dual Band by default. If the Wi-Fi network is dual-band, your device tries to connect in the 5.0
GHz band unless the signal strength at the 2.4 GHz band is significantly stronger. If you want to connect to a dual-
band network using one band only, choose the band you prefer.
Auto Obtain IP
In most cases this switch should remain on, but if you need to manually specify an IP address for your device you
can turn off this switch and the option to enter an IP address appears.
Using Auto-IP
Select this check box if you want your device to assign itself an IP address automatically when it can't obtain one
from the Wi-Fi network.
Enable IPV6
Set whether the network uses the IPV6 protocol.
Use Proxy
Turn on this switch if you want to connect to a proxy server. When you select this setting, additional settings appear.
To find out what settings to use, see the information provided for the proxy server.
Inter-Access Point Handover
If the network spans multiple access points, set whether your device should remain connected when you move from
one access point to another.
Connect to another device using Wi-Fi Direct
On the BlackBerry device that you want to connect to, on the Wi-Fi settings screen, the Wi-Fi Direct tab must be selected.
To connect to another type of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED device, view the documentation for that device.
Wi-Fi Direct can allow your device to connect to other BlackBerry devices without using access points or a router so you
can share files, such as media files, without an Internet connection.
Note: Although you can use Wi-Fi Direct to connect your device to other types of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices, apps on your
device might not be able to share files with other devices.
1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2.
Tap Settings > Networks and Connections > Wi-Fi.
3. If the Wi-Fi switch is off, turn on the switch.
4. Tap Wi-Fi Direct.
5. Tap the device you want to connect to.
