Go to your System Settings then open Tethering & Networks. You should see Wi-Fi calling. Turn on.

On my Android phone, "Wifi" is immediately visible when opening up Settings. You'll need to know the name of the signal you want to connect to (the tech term is SSID) and its password, if any.

As Snidely wrote, you should see in Settings the name of your wi-fi connection, and you will need the password or passphrase for connecting to it. Every time I am in a location where wi-fi is available, there is always a notice about any wi-fi connections available.

Often there are several ways to access this function...what brand/model is the phone?

With most phones you'll need to go to Setting and System and make sure it's set to automatically connect to WiFi When Available. The as stated above you should be prompted when a WiFi Connection is available.

You'll then need to enter a password or passphrase for each WiFi connection used (if at Burger King you'll need to enter their password, if at McDonalds you'll have to enter their password, at the hospital, enter the password)(you can usually just ask for those passwords).

Each phone and Operating system is a little different and Spec for your phone would help us tremendously (Brand, Model Number, Operating System, etc...). The more you can tell us, the more we can help you!

I don't think keeping an auto-connect on is a good choice. Leaving a smartphone's Wifi "on" when you leave the place where it was used will SIGNIFICANTLY (and needlessly) run down your battery. As you walk or drive down the street, it will attempt to connect to each signal you pass. The transceiver power gets boosted (and sucks battery power) for weak signals, so it boosts as you approach and again when you move past each signal source. It's a better practice to keep Wifi off when not in use.

For Wifi broadcasts where the password is on the signal (WEP or WPA), the password will only need to be entered once. The device will remember the entry and will automatically offer it the next time it senses a previously connected-to Wifi signal. For systems where the signal is open but there's a password on the network connection (entered via a username and password on a browser page), the password usually needs to be re-entered with every session. An exception is at some hotels that use a system like this but where your unique identifier allows the system to remember your log on for a few days. In my experience, this seems to be the case about half the time and not the case about half the time.

how do i find my password? samsung,4lg, thank u guys so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seems all i need now is the password.

Mine is printed on a sticker on the back of my modem...but that's just me.

You need to contact whoever set up the router for you and find out what the wifi password is. If no one did set up and it was just connected out of the box, read through the user manual to find the factory setting for username and router access password.

Every router can be accessed over the internal LAN network it creates. The router has a unique network address, which is often 192.168.1.1 (entered on a browser line). To access a router requires a username and password unique to accessing that router. Once signed on to the router, the password for the wifi signal can be learned or changed. Two things that are different and not to be confused - a password to access the router (over the LAN) versus the password the router requires for users to access its wifi signal.

Some wifi signals are set up with no password required.

I will check with the phone co on Monday. Thank u so much!
