    Wi-Fi
    Wi‑Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances 
    of up to 300 feet. To use your phone’s Wi‑Fi, you need 
    access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
    The availability and range of the Wi‑Fi signal depends 
    on a number of factors, including infrastructure and 
    other objects through which the signal passes.
    Turn Wi‑Fi On and Connect to a

    you reset your phone to its factory default settings or 
    you instruct the phone to forget the network.

    means no additional steps are required for your phone 
    to connect to a Wi‑Fi network. It may be necessary to 
    provide a user name and password for certain closed 
    wireless networks.
