Define internet connections
If your network service provider charges you on a pay-as-you-use basis, you may want to change the
Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs. You can use different settings for roaming
and at home.
Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
