ARCHOS 605 WiFi ARCHOS 705 WiFi
Enabling WiFi
From the Home screen, select the “Enable WiFi” menu item . Your device will scan for available WiFi networks.- The first time you use your device, you may get a message “No configured network found”. Select “View available networks”, and the list of available networks will be displayed.
- If you get the message “Could not connect to any WiFi network!”, select “View available networks”, and the list of available networks will be displayed.
Once you are connected to a WiFi network, the status bar icon (WiFi not connected) will become...(WiFi connected). There is no status bar icon at all when WiFi
is not enabled.
Note: When you enter an application that uses the WiFi (Web Browser, ARCHOS Content Portal, etc. See: The WiFi Features), your ARCHOS will try to connect to the WiFi. If a configured network is detected, the ARCHOS will automatically connect to it and then launch the application.
The list of available networks shows
all the wireless networks in range of
your device.
The list is constantly refreshed automatically.
In the list of available networks, for
each network you will see the following
information:
1. Configuration status:
configured network
unconfigured network
2. The name of the network (SSID), if it is broadcasted (if the SSID is not broadcasted,
you will be prompted to enter it in the next configuration screen).
3. The strength of the signal.
4. The type of encryption key that is required:
5. The channel used by the network.
6. The type of network (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc). Ad-Hoc networks are not supported
at this time.
Select the network that you want to connect to (your home wireless network or
a free hotspot).
You will be taken to the configuration screen for this network, where you will
have to enter some information to set up your access to this network.
