Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it to extend the life of your battery.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.
Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a Wi-Fi network
You may turn on and connect to a Wi-Fi network by following steps:
1. Open the Settings screen.
2. Tap Wireless & networks.
3. Tap Wi-Fi to turn it on.
The tablet scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of
those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon.
4. Tap Wi-Fi settings and choose a network to connect it.
If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to
connect to that network by tapping Connect.
If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other
credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)
When you connected to a network, tap on the network name in the Wi-Fi
settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and
related settings.
Receiving notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is turned on, you will receive notifications in the
Status bar when your tablet detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification.
You can uncheck this option to stop receiving notifications.
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 scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password
or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap Add Wi-Fi network.
