Add a Wi-Fi Network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so your device will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it’s in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID ), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.

1.Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.

2.Tap the Plus icon at the top of the screen.

3.Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If necessary, enter security or other network configuration details.

4.Tap Save.

Forget a Wi-Fi Network

You can make the Sero 7 forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you added - for example, if you don’t want the Sero 7 to connect to it automatically or if it’s a network that you no longer use.

To forget a Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi > [the network name] > Forget.

Configure Proxy Settings for a Wi-Fi Network

Some network administrators require you to connect to internal or external network resources via a proxy server. By default, the Wi-Fi networks you add are not configured to connect via a proxy, but you can change that for each Wi-Fi network you’ve added.

1.Press & hold a network in the list of Wi-Fi networks you’ve added.

2.Tap Modify network in the dialog that opens.

3.Select Show advanced options.

4.If the network has no proxy settings, tap None under Proxy Settings, then tap Manual in the menu that opens.

5.Enter the proxy settings supplied by your network administrator.

6.Tap Save.

NOTE Proxy settings are used by the browser but may not be used by other apps.
