In order to connect to a wireless network, the ARCHOS will need some specic informa-
tion about the network. Your device will automatically pick up certain pieces of infor-
mation that it needs from the WiFi hot spot. You can enter the rest of the information
manually in the network’s conguration screen, as shown in the following sections.
Note that your device will remember the network connection information that
you enter, in order to re-use it and connect automatically to the network when
it is in range.
