Hotspots are available in many public places, such as libraries, airports, hotels, coffee shops, and so on. Some hotspots are free
to use, while others require payment. Your wireless service provider might provide an application for your device that allows
you to log in to a hotspot. If you do not have an application on your device, you might have to set up your own account online
and log in manually.
When you connect to a WLAN, your device saves the connection information so that the next time that you are within range of
that WLAN, your device connects to it automatically.
