Wi-Fi & Internet

Wi-Fi lets devices connect to the internet without wires. Signals travel through the air between your device and a wireless router. Most homes, schools, and cafes offer Wi-Fi today.

Wi-Fi vs Internet — Not the Same!

Wi-Fi is the wireless way devices connect to a network. The internet is the giant network of connected computers around the world. A device can use Wi-Fi to reach the internet, but Wi-Fi and the internet are two different things.

How to Connect to Wi-Fi

1. Click the Wi-Fi icon on your device
2. Choose the network name from the list
3. Type the Wi-Fi password if asked
4. Click Connect

Signal Strength

A Wi-Fi icon with more bars means a stronger signal. Standing closer to the router usually gives a stronger, faster connection.
