Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi settings determine when iPhone uses local Wi-Fi networks to connect to the
Internet. If no Wi-Fi networks are available, or you’ve turned Wi-Fi off, then iPhone
connects to the Internet via EDGE.
Turn Wi-Fi on or off
• Choose General > Network and turn Wi-Fi on or off.
Set iPhone to ask if you want to join a new network
When you are trying to access the internet, by using Safari or Mail for example, and you
are not in range of a Wi-Fi network you have previously used, this option tells iPhone to
look for another network. iPhone displays a list of all available Wi-Fi networks that you
can choose from. (Networks that require a password appear with a lock icon.) If “Ask to
Join New Networks” is turned off, you must manually join a network to connect to the
Internet when neither a previously used network nor EDGE is available.
• Choose Wi-Fi and turn “Ask to Join Networks” on or off. If you turn “Ask to Join
Networks” off, you must join new networks manually.
Join a Wi-Fi network manually
• Choose Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects networks in range, then choose a
network. If necessary, enter a password and tap Join. (Networks that require a password
appear with a lock icon.)
Make iPhone forget a network, so iPhone doesn’t join it automatically
• Choose Wi-Fi and tap next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this
Network.”
Connect to a closed Wi-Fi network (an available Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the
list of scanned networks)
• Choose Wi-Fi > Other and enter the network name. If the network requires a password,
choose Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password.
You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a
closed network.
Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to enter or adjust additional settings, such as a
client ID or static IP address. Ask the network administrator which settings to use.
Adjust settings to connect to a Wi-Fi network
• Choose Wi-Fi, then tap next to a network.
