Many services on electronic devices rely on the internet, such as downloading apps, software updates, and cloud storage. Connecting to a WLAN (or WiFi as it's known) is an essential step when setting up your iPhone or iPad for the first time. This article will provide you with a detailed guide on how to find, connect and manage WiFi or WLAN on your iPhone or iPad.
Apple devices are designed with a user-friendly interface that allows you to access network settings and manage your network connection in just a few simple steps. Below are the steps to find the WiFi/WLAN settings on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 1: First, tap the "Settings" icon on the home screen. The Settings app is where you can configure your iPhone or iPad in various ways.
Step 2: In the "Settings" menu, find the "WLAN" (or WiFi) option, which is usually located near the top of the menu.
Step 3: Click on the "WLAN" option to go to its settings page. Here, you will see a list of available networks and options to manage connections. If WLAN is not turned on, slide the switch to turn it on.
Step 4: Once WLAN is turned on, your iPhone or iPad will automatically scan and display all available WiFi networks.
Now, you can follow the steps below to connect your iPhone or iPad to WLAN.
Step 1: Once you are in WiFi settings, find the WiFi network you want to connect to in the list of available networks and click on its name.
Step 2: For protected networks, you will be asked to enter a password. Make sure you enter the correct password and click "Join".
Step 3: After that, the device will verify the password and try to connect to the WiFi network. If the connection is successful, a WiFi signal icon will be displayed at the top of the screen, and there will be a "✔" sign next to the network name.
