For example, if you don't want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it's a network that you no longer use. 1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on, then tap Wi-Fi in the Settings menu. 2.

To add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it’s in range. You
can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it doesn’t broadcast its name
(SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you’re out of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator
to obtain the password or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap
Wi-Fi
in the Settings menu.
2. From the Wi-Fi screen, tap the
Menu
icon
(at the upper-right corner of
the screen), then tap
Add Wi-Fi
.
3. Enter the
Wi-Fi name (SSID)
of the network.
4. If the network is secured, tap
Security
and tap the type of security
deployed on the network.
Enter the required passwords and security
credentials.
5. Tap
CONNECT
to save the information.
The phone will connect to the wireless network (if it's currently within
range). Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you're connected
automatically when you come within range of this network.
To forget a Wi-Fi network
You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that
you added. For example, if you don’t want the phone to connect to it
automatically or if it’s a network that you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap
Wi-Fi
in the Settings menu.
2. In the Wi-Fi screen, touch and hold the name of the network that you
want to forget.
3. Tap
Forget network
in the Context menu that appears.
