Proud ower of this smart 7 phone, but am being told that wifi connection in my area is bad, can get connected anywhere else, so am at a loss whether to just accept it at home or do you think a booster at £69 would solve the problem, it is a lot of money just to try it, have ask for one and the phone operator did try but no luck,
You will need to go into settings, WiFi then there should be an option to scan. This sometimes happens automatically and a notification will pop up telling you WiFi is available.
Once the scan is complete choose the one to connect too, if in a pub or wherever they should be able to tell you which is theirs and provide any password that will be required. It's then just a matter of connecting to the correct one and inputting the password.
If you don't want to keep fiddling with the settings, just make sure the wifi symbol is at the top of the screen when you use apps or the internet. If G,E, H, H+ or 4G appear beside the signal strength graph, you're on mobile data. When you're on wifi, the wifi symbol replaces that.
That's true @hrym but the OP doesn't want to use mobile data, so has to fiddle with the settings otherwise once they leave the house mobile data will kick in.
