What exactly means ‘does not connect’?

What is ment is that when I am out and about no WiFi is available to me, despite others around me that can.

So you can’t find any WiFi or you can find them but can’t connect?

How to connect WIFI, fairphone suport.

To set up a Wi-Fi connection on your Fairphone, open the Wi-Fi settings:

From the bottom of the screen, swipe up for all apps.

Tap on the Settings icon.

Tap on Network & Internet.

This step is slightly different depending on your software version:

On Android 13, tap on Internet.

On Android 12 or lower, tap on Wi-Fi .

To enable Wi-Fi, tap on the toggle button located at the top left side of the screen. It should look like this:.

Now you can connect manually to your preferred Wi-Fi network. Or, when available, you can use a QR code.

How to manually connect to Wi-Fi

Choose your preferred network connection from the list. Tap on the network name to connect.

If the network is password-protected, you will need to type the password in the pop-up. Tap on the Show password checkbox to make sure you’re typing it correctly.

Tap on the CONNECT text located in the lower right part of your screen.

-IMPORTANT-
If you receive the message Could not connect to Wi-Fi network, and then see the text Check password and try again, the password is wrong.
Try to type in the password one more time and pay special attention to symbols, upper- and lower-case letters.
If the issue persists, contact the network administrator to verify the password. If the password is correct, make sure no other action is needed (such as registering via a webpage).
