Managing Wi-Fi connections
If you did not connect to a Wi-Fi network when you first started your
tablet, or want to connect to a new network, swipe left to the list of
apps and tap
Settings
>
Network & Internet
>
Wi-Fi
to manage your
connection settings. Alternatively, swipe down from the top of the
screen and tap the Wi-Fi button to toggle on and off the Wi-Fi
connection.
If Wi-Fi is not on, tap the Wi-Fi switch to
On
and wait for your tablet to
detect nearby networks. Tap the name of your network and enter a
security password, if needed.
Data saver (background data)
The
Data Usage
section shows how much data has been transmitted
to your tablet, either in total or for each app. This information is useful
if you are using a metered service.
If an app is using too much data, or you need to control how your data
service is used, open
Settings
, then under
Network & Internet
tap
Data Usage
, and turn
Data Saver
on. Tap to see a list of apps
installed on your device, you may disable background data for
individual apps. An app controlled by the
Data Saver
will only be able
to access to a data connection when you’re actively using the app.
Note
Blocking background data may cause some apps to stop working correctly.
For example, background data is required to make regular checks for
updates, useful for email or messenger apps.
