The best way to do that is via a computer through a Lightning cable. Either a PC with iTunes or a Mac with Finder (or iTunes on some older operating systems). I prefer it because it's easier to control.


You could try using Quick Start, but there's only one chance after it comes up from factory condition. That doesn't use Wi-Fi. It works completely via Bluetooth, peer to peer.
