Rename or Secure Your Wi-Fi Hotspot
You can change the name of your phone's Wi-Fi network (SSID) and secure your
portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
1. Touch the Home key > > Settings > More > Mobile HotSpot settings >
Configure Mobile HotSpot.
2. Set your name and security options as follows:
x Network name: Enter or edit a network SSID (name) that other devices see
when scanning for Wi-Fi networks.
x Channel: To avoid interference with other Wi-Fi networks, try using a
different channel.
x Security: Choose a security option, Open (not recommended) or WPA2
PSK (other users can access your mobile hotspot only if they enter the
correct password). When you select WPA2 PSK, touch the Password field
to edit the security password.
3. Touch SAVE to save your settings.
Connecting to Virtual Private Networks
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside a
secured local network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations, schools,
and other institutions to let people access local network resources when not on
campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using, you may be required to enter your
login credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your VPN.
You can get this information from your network administrator.
