First of all, you need to configure 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.

* For free access WiFi points, there is no need to enter any special information. For secured networks, you will need either a key (a series of numbers and/or letters) of the type WEP, WPA, or WPA2. Refer to your WiFi provider to obtain the exact connection parameters required.

To configure a new WiFi network, go on the Home screen, tap on the Application tab , 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.

Tap on the network you want to connect to, enter the required network information* and then tap on Connect. Your ARCHOS will now attempt to establish a connection to that WiFi hot spot with the network parameters you entered.
