You can have more than one Wi-Fi profile on your BlackBerry® device. For example, you can have one Wi-Fi profile that you use to connect to a Wi-Fi network at home and another Wi-Fi profile that you use to connect to your organization's Wi-Fi network. You can also have Wi-Fi profiles that you use to connect to Wi-Fi networks in public places such as community centers or libraries. Your device tries to connect to Wi-Fi networks based on the order in which they appear in your Wi-Fi profile list. Wi-Fi profile security options Security Type: 215
