Connecting to Wi-Fi

In short: Wi-Fi is the wireless home network. You pick your network from the list, enter the Wi-Fi password and you are online.

In more detail: The router broadcasts a wireless network with a name (SSID). The password is usually on the router. Computer, phone and tablet connect to it without cables.

In Depth

• Windows: Network icon at the bottom right → choose network → Connect → enter password.
• Phone: Settings → Wi-Fi → choose network.
• Password: On the router sticker or in the router menu. Mind upper and lower case.
• No internet despite connection: Restart the router (unplug for 30 seconds), check cables.
• Weak signal: Move closer to the router or place it more openly.
• Public Wi-Fi: Cafés, stations. Do not do banking or enter passwords there.
• LAN cable: Faster and more stable than Wi-Fi if the computer is near the router.
