  • From your Home screen, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
  • Turn on Wi-Fi. Your device will automatically search for available Wi-Fi networks.
  • Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network that you want to join.
  • You will see the following options:
    • My Networks: Wi-Fi networks that you've connected with before.
    • Public Networks: Available Wi-Fi networks that you've never connected with before.
    • Secure Networks: Wi-fi networks that are password protected and have a Image4.png by their name. Enter the password and tap join. If you cannot tap join, the password you’ve entered is incorrect.
