realme How to Connect and Set up Wi-Fi

To be able to connect the realme smartphone to an available Wi-Fi network, the general Wi-Fi function must first be activated.
This is done either in the Wi-Fi settings or via the quick settings of the status bar.

Note: If no Wi-Fi connection is used, we recommend turning off the feature to save battery, as the realme device will otherwise continue to search for available Wi-Fi networks.

If we want to download bigger amounts of data, such as updates or apps, on the realme smartphone, it is advisable to connect to a Wi-Fi network beforehand in order to have unlimited data available if there are no restrictions or limits set part of the Wi-Fi network.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network usually requires the corresponding Wi-Fi password, since most networks are secured via WPA/WPA2 PSK.

A password is rarely required for public Wi-Fi networks, such as in restaurants, cafés or train stations, but this also endangers the security of our own data, since we never know who else might be connected to the same network.

When connecting to a secured Wi-Fi network, the corresponding Wi-Fi password is also required, which may have a cumbersome and long sequence of digits.

To facilitate the connection, we can scan the QR code of a Wi-Fi network with the realme smartphone, which contains all the data, such as host name, IP address and Wi-Fi password.

As soon as a saved Wi-Fi network is within range, the realme smartphone connects automatically by default, which bypasses the need to reconnect manually by entering the Wi-Fi password.

The automatic reconnection can be enabled and disabled individually for each saved network.

We can share the access data or password of a connected Wi-Fi network on the realme smartphone via QR code to enable connecting without password entry.

The displayed QR code can then be scanned by another mobile device to establish a connection.

A proxy server can also be set up on the realme smartphone via a connected Wi-Fi network, through which the subsequent connections are redirected.

Note: For a successful setup, at least the proxy host name and the proxy port are required.

If a Wi-Fi network is not found by the realme smartphone, for example because it is invisible, a connection can be established manually. 
To do this, we need to enter the correct SSID of the router and the corresponding password if the Wi-Fi network is secured.

The realme smartphone comes with the Wi-Fi Assistant, which automatically scans the stored networks and automatically selects the best Wi-Fi network to always ensure the best possible connection.

The smart selection of the Wi-Fi network can be turned on or off in the settings at any time.

If a connection to the saved Wi-Fi networks is rather weak or poor, the realme smartphone can automatically switch to mobile data to provide the best possible and stable Internet connection.

By default, this feature is disabled because the mobile data network is accessed, but it can be enabled at any time. 

The Wi-Fi settings on the realme smartphone include the "Scanning always available" feature, which allows the location service and apps to search for Wi-Fi networks even if Wi-Fi is turned off.

If the WPS button of a Wi-Fi router is accessible, we can establish a network connection by starting the WPS search on the realme smartphone and pressing the button on the router.

WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup and, besides scanning a QR code, is the easiest method to connect devices in a Wi-Fi network, since it eliminates the need to enter the corresponding Wi-Fi password.
