Connecting to WiFi is one of the first things you do with any device. WiFi lets you use the internet without using your cellular data, and it is available in homes, coffee shops, libraries, airports, and many other places.

To connect, you need the name of the WiFi network (sometimes called the SSID) and the password. At home, these are usually on a sticker on the back or bottom of your router. In public places, ask staff for the WiFi name and password, or look for a sign.

On iPhone: Go to Settings then Wi-Fi. Make sure the toggle at the top is turned on (green). Your phone scans for nearby networks and lists them. Tap the name of the network you want to join. If it is password-protected (you will see a lock icon), type the password and tap "Join." A checkmark appears next to the network name when you are connected.

On Android: Go to Settings then Network and Internet then Wi-Fi (or Settings then Connections then Wi-Fi on Samsung). Make sure WiFi is toggled on. Tap the network name from the list. Enter the password if required and tap "Connect." A "Connected" label appears under the network name.

On Windows: Click the WiFi icon in the bottom-right corner of the taskbar. A list of nearby networks appears. Click the one you want and click "Connect." Enter the password and click "Next." A connected icon appears.

On Mac: Click the WiFi icon in the menu bar at the top-right of the screen. Select the network from the dropdown list. Enter the password when prompted and click "Join."

Once connected, your device remembers the network and reconnects automatically in the future. If the WiFi is not working, try turning WiFi off and back on, moving closer to the router, or restarting your device.

Public WiFi networks (at cafes, airports, hotels) are convenient but less secure than your home network. Avoid doing banking or entering passwords on public WiFi unless you are using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which encrypts your connection.
