Using Your NOOK at Wi-Fi Hotspots

In addition to connecting to your Wi-Fi network in your home or oce, you can use your NOOK to connect to Wi-

Fi hot spots in stores, restaurants, and hotels.

This section summarizes how your NOOK works with various types of Wi-Fi hotspots.

Wi-Fi Networks in Barnes & Noble Stores

Your NOOK will automatically detect a Wi-Fi network in a Barnes & Noble store and ask if you want to connect to

it.

Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will detect any unsecured Wi-Fi networks close by. An unsecured Wi-Fi network does not require users

to enter a password in order to establish a connection. You can simply select the network and connect to it.

Secured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will also detect any secured Wi-Fi networks. A secured Wi-Fi network requires users to enter a pass-

word before they can connect to the network.

There are several dierent security protocols available for securing networks. Your NOOK recognizes and supports

the most popular Wi-Fi security protocols, including:

• WEP

• WPA/WPA2 PSK

• 802.1x EAP

To connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, select it from a list of networks and enter its password when prompted.

NOTE: If you do not know the password for the network, ask the network administrator for help.

NOTE: You do not need to launch a browser to connect to a secured network. Your NOOK will display dialog

boxes that let you select a network and enter a password.

Proxied Wi-Fi Networks

Proxied Wi-Fi networks typically present a web page with terms and conditions, a login screen, and possibly a pay-

ment screen, before allowing you to connect to the network. You’ll encounter this type of network in many hotels,

restaurants, and airports. Your NOOK will detect these networks, but to connect to them you’ll need to open a

browser window (just as you would on a laptop), read through the terms and conditions, accept terms, perhaps enter

credit card information, and connect.
