Android phones have the capability to connect to wireless networks. This allows faster data transmission and downloads compared to a standard 3G network. A wireless network is able to share an Internet connection with an Android phone if the phone is within range of the network's signal. After connecting an Android phone to a wireless network, the phone can remember the network and reconnect automatically in the future.
Instructions
1. Press the Android phone's "Menu" button. This is the button on the bottom left of standard Android devices. The device menu will appear.
2. Select the "Settings" option and then the "Wireless & Networks" menu item. Place a check beside the "Wi-Fi" option to turn it on. The phone will activate Wi-Fi mode after a few moments and scan for available networks.
3. Choose the network you wish to connect to from the list of available networks. The phone will prompt for a password if it is a secure network. Enter the password. The phone's network icon will indicate when the phone has established the connection.
