Learn how to use WiFi settings on your Sony Xperia Z1. When you are connected to a Wi-Fi network or when there are Wi-Fi networks available in your vicinity, it is possible to view the status of these networks. You can also enable your device to notify you whenever an open Wi-Fi network is detected.
