Connecting to Wi-Fi networks
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 device, you need to access a wireless access point,
or “hotspot”. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to
them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must
configure your device so it can connect to them.
