Internet
Learn how to create wireless connections and browse the web while keeping your data costs down.
Define internet connections
Does your network service provider charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on a pay-as-you-use
basis? Change the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs while roaming and at
home.
Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
