It's easy, just follow the step-by-step instructions on that page. If you continue to have problems, please visit the Connectivity section for additional suggestions. Connectivity 1. What is Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi is a generic term used to describe wireless Internet access. A Wi-Fi enabled device (such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone, or e-reader) can connect wirelessly to the Internet if it is in range of a wireless network. Wi-Fi enabled devices connect to the wireless network through access points (or hotspots). Access points can be public (such as at a library, restaurant or bookstore) or can be private (such as at home, work or school). Public Wi-Fi access points usually don't require a password, but instead require a user to acknowledge terms of use. Private Wi-Fi access points are usually password protected. Home Internet connection is usually provided by a cable or telephone company, and the wireless access is provided by a small device called a wireless router that is physically connected to the Internet. 2. Is my NOOK wireless? Yes, your NOOK has built in Wi-Fi allowing you to connect wirelessly to any Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to your home Wi-Fi, as well as your office, cafes, airports, hotels, and most other public

3 hotspots. Your local Barnes & Noble bookstore offers free Wi-Fi that your NOOK will connect to automatically. 3. I forgot my Wi-Fi password. What should I do? Check with your Wi-Fi network administrator, or with whoever installed your Wi-Fi network. If you can't find that person, you may need to reset your Wi-Fi router back to its original settings. Please go to the support site of your Wi-Fi router's manufacturer for information about factory reset and how to set up a network. Note that you may need to reattach any other Wi-Fi enabled device if you change the network name (SSID) or change the password. 4. How do I know what my home network is? If you have another Wi-Fi enabled device, try looking at its settings to determine which Wi-Fi access point it is connecting to. Once you've determined that, select the same wireless network name from the list provided by NOOK. 5. I don't see my home network on the list. What should I do? It is possible that your network was set up as a hidden network. To add your network: -Tap the Settings icon in the upper right hand corner. -Tap All Settings. -Select Wireless & Bluetooth. -Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on -Tap on Find other networks and tap on the Add Network button. -Fill in the information for your network and press Save. 6. What is the lock symbol next to a Wi-Fi hotspot listed in available wireless networks? The lock symbol represents a secure Wi-Fi network. Be sure to have the password and security information for any secure Wi-Fi network that you attempt to connect to. 7. What should I do if I'm having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi or registering my NOOK?
