Hello,
Sr. Citizen, very, now, so please bear with me a bit.
Using son's iPhone 6
Very confused over how to have it use the Verizon network, or selecting the house WiFi (thru our Router).
I go to Settings
I select WiFi
I turn the Slider On (green)
It finds the Router's name that I use with my Comcast Modem (& desktop PC)
to be able to use my iPad wirelessly in another room..
I also have:
Ask to Join Networks to On (green)
There is text right under this that says: 'Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network."
(this message stays the same irrespective of the position of "Ask to join Networks" slider)
So, under what I outlined above is it using the house WiFi that it found
or the Verizon network ?
If it finds new networks (with the above settings) will it "automatically" use one of them, or do you have to select it ?
And, my major question: how can I "force" it to use the Verizon network ?
I guess all of this boils down to how to switch between the/any WiFi's
it finds (and how to select a particular one, or have it autmatically select and use)
and how to have it use the Verizon network.
Please assume you are dealing with a complete idiot with this, as I'm not as sharp with this kind of "stuff" as I used to be. Will blame it on old age now.
Really specific and detailed instructions and explanation would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much, appreciate the help,
Bob
