Anyone that has tried to connect to the internet with their phone, has probably encountered times where there was simply too little network coverage to make this possible. Blackberry, have made it possible to connect the Curve to any wi-fi network that is in range, in an attempt to get round this problem. This guide will show you how to do it.
Select Setup from the menu screen. |
Select Setup wi-fi. Once you have selected this option you will be presented with this screen. |
Press Next. At which point you will be given three options. By selecting the “Scan for Networks Option“, will provide a list of all available wi-fi networks. Choose the one you want to connect to. If it is a free to connect to it or there is no security, then the phone will connect straight away. It may ask you for a shared key. If so, follow the directions below. |
|
The shared key is a security key in your wireless router. To get it, you must type the router number in the address bar, normally something like 192.168.1.1. If you do not know this number, Google search the make and serial number of your router, and you should find it fairly quickly.
To obtain the shared key, select Wireless. |
By selecting security, the share key will be revealed. Type this into the field on your Curve. |
You will then see this screen. This screen shows that you have successfully setup a wi-fi connection to your Curve. Well done. It may seem a long process but it took me around ten minutes from start to finish to connect my Curve to my home network. So don’t be putoff, and have fun. |
