149 Internet connections Internet connections Data connection When you turn on HTC Wildfire S for the first time, it will be automatically set up to use the Virgin Mobile data network. Wi-Fi To use Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or "hotspot". The availability and strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on objects, such as buildings or simply a wall between rooms, the Wi-Fi signal has to pass through. Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network 1. From the Home screen, press , and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks. 2. Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. HTC Wildfire S then scans for available wireless networks. 3. Tap Wi-Fi settings. Detected Wi-Fi networks will be listed in the Wi-Fi networks section. If the wireless network that you want is not listed, tap Add Wi-Fi network to manually add it. 4. Tap the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. If you selected a secured network, you'll be asked to enter the network key or password. 5. Tap Connect. When HTC Wildfire S is connected to the wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon appears in the status bar and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands that light up). The next time HTC Wildfire S connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you won't be asked to enter the key or other security information again, unless you reset HTC Wildfire S to its factory default settings.
