Samsung GT-P7100 user manual Add a Wi-Fi network

Add a Wi-Fi network

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

To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required security credentials. For more information about installing secure certificates, see“Working with secure certificates”on page 69.

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

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

In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the list of discovered networks).

Enter the SSID (name) of the network.

If necessary, enter security or other network configuration details. See“Turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network”on page 52.

Touch Save.

The information about the network is saved, so you are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network.
