Configuring Wi-Fi Direct
YOUR GALAXY S II can use a helpful technology called Wi-Fi Direct that makes it easy to connect directly to other Wi-Fi devices, without having to use a Wi-Fi network. So, for example, you’ll be able to connect directly to a PC that uses Wi-Fi Direct in order share files.
Only devices that meet the Wi-Fi Direct standards and certifications can use Wi-Fi Direct, and your Galaxy S II does that. To use Wi-Fi Direct to connect to another device, from the Home screen or a pane, tap the Menu key and select Settings→“Wireless and network”→“Wi-Fi Direct settings.” You’ll get a warning that you’ll be disconnected to your current Wi-Fi network if you’re connected to one. Tap OK. From the screen that appears, tap Wi-Fi Direct. Your phone scans for nearby Wi-Fi Direct devices. Once it finds any, follow the onscreen prompts to connect.
