Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet User Guide
Configuring Wireless Settings
The Wireless settings screen provides:
• a switch for turning on and off Wi-Fi networking
• a list of all the Wi-Fi networks your NOOK has detected
Turning Wi-Fi Networking On or Off
On the Wireless settings page, tap the Wi-Fi button to change its status from On to Off or from Off to On.
NOTE: If Wi-Fi networking is turned off, you will not be able to access the Shop, share information with friends,
download new books, magazines, newspapers, or apps, or perform any other action that requires a live
network connection.
Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
When Wi-Fi networking is turned on, the Wireless settings page displays a list of the Wi-Fi networks it detects. The
list includes the name of the network and a wireless connection icon (a stack of curved lines). The darker the lines in
the wireless connection icon, the stronger the network signal is for that network.
A lock symbol indicates that a network is secured with a password. To connect to a secured network, you will need
to enter the network’s password. If you do not know the network’s password, ask the network administrator.
To connect to a network, do this:
1. Tap on the network’s name.
If the network is secured, a dialog box appears, asking for a Wireless password. Tap in the password box, then
use the keyboard that appears at the bottom of the screen to enter the network’s password. Then tap
Connect.
For a list of network security protocols supported by your NOOK, see “Secured Wi-Fi Networks”.
