Windows Mobile How to: Use WiFi for Internet?

Just now I checked my Google Analytics account and found that someone actually use this keyword: "wm 6.1 standard howto use wifi for internet". So someone actually still don't know how to use Wi-Fi? Then here's how to using HTC Snap with WM6.5 Standard.

First scroll to Settings > Comm Manager

Find Wi-Fi and click (or push? you name it)

It's still in OFF condition in picture above

Now that Wi-Fi switched to ON, you'll get notification if there is actually available Wi-Fi network. So pick Yes to see the list of available networks.

In picture above, there is a network named hohoho-net which Security-enabled. It means you'll need the network key of that hohoho-net. You should ask the place from which this access-point appear. Starbucks? Cafe? Ask them for the key. Note that some of Wi-Fi networks are not Security-enabled (which means you don't need the network key) so you could just connect-and-browse).

Now that you have mocked the owner of the cafe for network-key, then enter it to the form just like above.

Connected! Take a look at your homescreen. Take your time so your device retrieve appropriate IP Address from the access-point. It usually take 5 to 10 seconds and you are ready to go!

Notes: this can be done in any Windows Mobile version wether Professional or Standard
