Turn On/Off 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.

Connect to a Wi-Fi Network

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.

Connect to a Wi-Fi Network using QR Code

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.

Auto Reconnect to a Wi-Fi Network

Add a Wi-Fi Network manually

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.

Auto Switch to Mobile Data

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.

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.
