Steps to using the Wi-Fi in your Buick Encore GX 

While the video above gives us the steps to using Wi-Fi in a Buick Encore GX, many of the steps will be the same or similar in another model. Thus, following these basic steps will help any Buick driver connect to their in-cabin Wi-Fi. Remember that you’ll need a data plan in order for in-vehicle Wi-Fi to work.  

  1. You’ll need your vehicle’s touchscreen to be on, so turn on your vehicle. 
  2. On equipped vehicles, tap Wi-Fi ® and then tap Share Hotspot Data on the infotainment screen. 
  3. Now get out the device or devices that you wish to connect to Wi-Fi. There will be a limit to how many devices can connect at one time. Therefore, you may have to disconnect a device to connect a new device to Wi-Fi. 
  4. Select your own Wi-Fi network and type in your password on the device you want to connect. 
  5. In case you forget your network or password, they should be displayed on your vehicle’s infotainment screen. 
  6. Repeat step four for any other devices you wish to connect to Wi-Fi.
