Connect with Wi-Fi Direct

If you have a device, like a printer or TV, that supports Wi-Fi Direct, you can connect your phone without a wireless router or cable.

When you turn on your phone’s Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct is automatically enabled.

To connect to a Wi-Fi Direct device:

  1. On the device you want to connect, set up Wi-Fi Direct. For instructions, see that product's user guide.
  2. On your phone, go to Settings > Network & internet > Wi‑Fi > Wi-Fi preferences.
  3. Touch Advanced > Wi-Fi Direct.

    You'll see a list of Wi-Fi Direct devices that are within range and compatible.

  4. Touch the device’s name to connect.
