CONNECTING TO A WIFI NETWORK
For this procedure to work, you need to be in a WiFi zone that will allow you to connect to it. Every time the ARCHOS is in range of
a network that you have already configured once, it will attempt to make a connection.
To configure a new WiFi network, go on the Home screen, tap on the Menu icon
, then select Settings
.
In the Settings screen, select Wireless & networks.

If the WiFi is off, tap on the Wi-Fi line to turn it on. Then select Wi-Fi settings. The ARCHOS will
scan for available WiFi networks and display them at the bottom of the screen.
Tap on the network you want to connect to. Then tap inside the Wireless password field to
make the virtual keyboard appear. We recommend that you select Show password, to be able
to see the characters you are typing.
Enter the required network information*, tap on Done, and then tap on Connect. Your
ARCHOS will now attempt to establish a connection to that WiFi access point with the
network parameters you entered.
