Adding 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 it does not broadcast its
name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator
to learn what security system is deployed and to obtain the password or
other required security credentials.

you added. For example, if you don’t want the tablet to connect to it
