Wi-Fi Settings
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your tablet’s Wi-Fi, you
need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
For more information about using Wi-Fi, see Wi-Fi.
1. Press and then tap Apps > Settings > Connections tab > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the ON/OFF switch to turn Wi-Fi on. Wi-Fi must be on to configure settings.
3. Tap to configure these settings:
 Advanced:
• Network notification: Send a notification when an open Wi-Fi network is available.
