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.

2

In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch

Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the

list of discovered networks).

3

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 58.

4

Touch

Save.

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

Forget a Wi-Fi network

You can make the tablet forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you
added—for example, if you don’t want the tablet to connect to it automatically or if
it is a network that you no longer use.

1

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

2

In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch the name of the network.

3

Touch

Forget in the dialog that opens.

Set a Wi-Fi disconnect

policy

By default, the tablet disconnects from Wi-Fi when the screen turns off and
connects to a mobile data network instead. It does this to conserve battery power,
and reconnects to Wi-Fi again when you wake it.

You can change this policy to stay connected to Wi-Fi when the tablet is connected
to a charger (when battery life isn’t a problem), or never to disconnect from Wi-Fi,
which trades battery life for reduced mobile network data use.

1

On the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Wi-Fi disconnect policy.

2

Touch the policy you want.
