Turn Wi-Fi on & connect to a Wi-Fi network
If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when rst setting up your device, 
Wi-Fi is turned on automatically.
1.  Touch 
 Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi.
2.  Slide the Wi-Fi switch to the On position. 
3.  The device scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the 
names of those it nds. Secured networks are indicated with a 
Lock icon. If the device nds a network that you connected to 
previously, it connects to it.
4.  Touch a network name to see more details or connect to it, and 
type a password if necessary. 
5.  Or, if your Wi-Fi router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, touch 
the WPS icon on your tablet, and then touch the same button 
on your router. 
To modify a network’s settings, touch & hold the network name.
Add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so your device will remember it, 
along with any security credentials, and connect to it automati-
cally when it’s in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network if the 
network does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi net-
work when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you rst need to learn security details 
from the network’s administrator.
1.  Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
