If
appears at the top of the screen, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network. iPhone reconnects anytime you return to the same location.
Configure Wi-Fi.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, then turn Wi-Fi on or off. (You can also turn Wi-Fi
on or off in Control Center.)

- Join a closed Wi-Fi network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the closed network. You need to know the network name, security type, and password.
- Adjust the settings for a Wi-Fi network: Tap
next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy, define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.
- Forget a network: Tap next to a network you’ve joined before, then tap Forget this Network.
Set up your own Wi-Fi network.

If iPhone is connected to an AirPort base station, go to Settings > Wi-Fi,
