Wi-Fi

Wireless Manager allows you to manage Wi-Fi Internet and Bluetooth connections on your device. It allows the phone to connect local wireless networks, or access the Internet wirelessly. Wi- Fi is faster and has a greater range than Bluetooth wireless technology.

NOTE: KM900G supports WEP, WPA-PSK/2 encryption not EAP, WPS encryption. If your Wi-Fi service provider or network administrator sets the encryption for network security, you should fill in the key in the pop-up window. If the encryption is not set, this pop-up window is not shown. If you don’t know the key, you need to ask for it from your Wi-Fi service provider or network administrator.
