To use Wi-Fi, you connect to a wireless access point, or "hotspot."
Some hotspots are open and you can simply connect to them. Others
implement security features that require other steps to set up, such as
digital certificates or other ways to ensure that only authorized users
can connect.
Connecting 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.
Tap the Settings icon
on a Home screen or All Apps screen.
2.
Under
Wireless & networks,
slide the
Wi-Fi
switch to the
On
position.
The device scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names
of those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon.
3.
Tap a network name to see more details or to connect to it.
If the network is secured, you will be prompted to enter a password
or other credentials. (If you don’t know the password, you will
need to ask the owner of the network to provide it.)
If the tablet finds a network that you connected to previously, it
will connect to it automatically.
To forget a network or to modify its settings, tap & hold the
network name.
a.
You may want the tablet to forget a network if you don’t want
to connect automatically or if you no longer use the network.
b.
Modify a network’s settings to change the password or to
configure its advanced options (i.e., Proxy and static IP
settings). Networks are configured by default to not use proxy
servers and to use automatic IP addressing. Proxy settings need
to be added for each individual Wi-Fi network.
Adding a Network Manually
Some Wi-Fi networks are configured so that the tablet cannot detect
them automatically. These networks need to be added manually.
