Saving your Wi-Fi WPA password

Q. My W-LAN (Wi-Fi) network at home uses WPA encryption, but I have to enter my password every time I want to get online. How can I get the smartphone to remember a particular password?

A. It's not obvious, but there is a place for this password. Go into 'Tools | Settings | Connection | Access points'. 'Edit' your Wi-Fi access point name (e.g. "Steve's home"), scroll down and select the dialog line marked 'WLAN security setting'.

In the following dialog, change 'WPA mode' to 'Pre-shared key' and you'll see a different second line appear, with the latter name. Use it to type in your WPA password and then 'Back' out of all the dialogs back to Settings.

Now try going online using your Wi-Fi network again. No password asked for!
