Forget a Wi-Fi network
You can make the device 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's 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.
Configure proxy settings for a Wi-Fi network
Some network administrators require you to connect to internal or external network resources via a proxy server. By default, the Wi-Fi
networks you add are not configured to connect via a proxy, but you can change that for each Wi-Fi network you've added.
Proxy settings are used by Browser but may not be used by other apps.
1 Touch & hold a network in the list of Wi-Fi networks you've added.
2 Touch Modify network in the dialog that opens.
3 Select Show advanced options.
4 If the network has no proxy settings, touch None under Proxy Settings, then touch Manual in the menu that opens.
5 Enter the proxy settings supplied by your network administrator.
6 Touch Save.
The proxy settings apply only to the Wi-Fi network you modified. To change the proxy settings for other Wi-Fi networks, modify them
individually.
Set Wi-Fi notifications, disconnect policy, and other advanced options
To work with advanced Wi-Fi settings:
1 Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2 In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch the Menu icon and choose Advanced.
These are the settings you can adjust:
● Network notification: By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive notifications in the Status bar when your device detects an open
Wi-Fi network. Uncheck this option to turn off notifications
● Avoid poor connections: Check to automatically avoid using networks with a low-quality or intermittent Internet connection.
● Keep Wi-Fi during sleep: To conserve mobile data usage, your device stays connected to Wi-Fi when the screen goes to sleep.
Touch this option to change this default behavior: either to stay connected to Wi-Fi only when the device is connected to a charger
(when battery life isn't a problem), or never to stay connected to
Wi-Fi during sleep. The latter choice is likely to increase mobile data usage. You may want to revisit this setting if you receive a
notification that you're approaching your specified mobile data limit.
● Wi-Fi frequency band: Specify Automatic, 5 GHz, or 2.4 GHz frequency bands
This screen also displays the following information:
● MAC address: The Media Access Control (MAC) address of your device when connected to a Wi-Fi network.
