      Your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet can connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi®. Public Wi-Fi networks are available in many public places, such as libraries, airports, hotels, coffee shops and so on. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your tablet saves the network and connects to it automatically the next time you're within range.
      1. On the Status bar, tap  > Wi-Fi.
      2. Tap the network you want to connect to. To only see networks that don't require a password, in theNetworks drop-down list, select Open Networks.
      3. If necessary, type the network password.
      4. Tap Connect.

      Connect using aWi-Fi Protected Setup™ button

      Tap  > Wi-Fi >Use WPS > Press WPS Button on Router. On your Wi-Fi router, press the button. On your tablet, tap Start.

      Connect using aWi-Fi Protected Setup PIN code

      Tap  > Wi-Fi >Use WPS > Enter PIN into Router > Start. On the administration screen for your Wi-Fi router, type the PIN displayed.

      Connect manually

      If you want to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network or save the settings for a network that's not currently available, you can connect manually.

      Tap  > Wi-Fi > Connect Manually. Type the name of the network. If the network is hidden, select Hidden SSID. Select the security type and specify any additional information. TapConnect to connect now or tap Save to save without connecting.
