Connectivity
What is Wi-Fi®?
Wi-Fi is a generic term used to describe wireless Internet access. A Wi-Fi enabled device (such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or eReader) can connect wirelessly to the Internet if it is in range of a wireless network that is connected to the Internet. Wi-Fi enabled devices connect to the wireless network through access points (or hotspots). Access points can be public (such as at a library, restaurant, or bookstore), or can be private (such as at home, work, or school).
Public Wi-Fi access points usually don't require a password but instead require a user to acknowledge terms of use.
Private Wi-Fi access points usually are password protected. Home Internet connection services are usually provided by a cable or telephone company, and the Wi-Fi access is provided by a small device called a wireless router that is physically connected to the Internet.

Note: You may need to reattach any other Wi-Fi enabled device if you change the network name (SSID) or change the password.
How do I know what my home network is?
