All you have to do is connect to your WiFi router, no need to switch between Hotspot and Internet Browseras it was in OS 5, OS 6 automatically chooses the best connection to use with the Browser

Just ensure you connect to your router after you input the password. Then wait for 5 seconds till the WiFi bars on your home screen turn into white as they will be grey when WiFi is on but you are not actually connected.

Good luck

Click on the Manage Connections icon, click WiFi set-up and make sure WiFi preferred is checked. Then as others have said, it is automatic after that.

OS 6 automatically selects wifi and stays with it until you turn wifi off.
