It should say "Connected" - "Saved, secured" means it's a secured network (with password access) that you have access before, and the info is stored in your phone.  The phone should see it when you are within range and connect if wifi is enabled.

Connected means you are using the wifi connection.  The symbols in your notification bar should tell you which network (wifi or cellular) is active - active will be highlighted, or have arrows flashing as data is exchanged.  Inactive will be grayed out or lit up(as available) but the arrows do not flash.

CROSSEYED1960,



Being able to connect to your WiFi is a must these days. Just to clarify, are you having issues connecting to your WiFi? Are you getting any errors? Is the device not staying connected?

There is no internet connection when it says "connected" We only have an internet connection when it says saved/secured.This is very puzzling and very troubling.

Crosseyed1960, I definitely would want to know when I'm connected to Wi-Fi at home. Nobody wants to use up all of their data. If your Wi-Fi settings say that the phone is connected then you should be able to use the internet and apps without a problem. When you are looking at the name of your Wi-Fi do you see an alert asking you to verify the Wi-Fi password? Are other devices connecting to the Wi-Fi just fine?
