Turn Wi-Fi on & connect to a Wi-Fi network

If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your device, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically.

1.Touch Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi.

2.Slide the Wi-Fi switch to the On position.

3.The device scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon. If the device finds a network that you connected to previously, it connects to it.

4.Touch a network name to see more details or connect to it, and type a password if necessary.

5.Or, if your Wi-Fi router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, touch the WPS icon on your tablet, and then touch the same button on your router.

To modify a network’s settings, touch & hold the network name.

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 automati- cally 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 net- work when you are out of range.

To join a secured network, you first need to learn security details from the network’s administrator.

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