Joining Wi-Fi networks

Select a network from the list of detected Wi-Fi networks, enter a password if necessary, and then tap Connect.

Networks that require a password appear with a lock icon.

After the device connects to a Wi-Fi network, the device will automatically connect to it any time it is available.

Adding Wi-Fi networks

If the desired network does not appear in the networks list, tap Add Wi-Fi network at the bottom of the networks list. Enter the network name in Network SSID, select the security type and enter the password if it is not an open network, and then tap Connect.

Forgetting Wi-Fi networks

Any network that has ever been used, including the current network, can be forgotten so the device will not automatically connect to it.

Select the network in the networks list, and then tap Forget.

  • How do you bring back a forgotten wifi network? I cant connect now to my wifi in my home because i accidentally tapped the forget button to my wifi. Any solution with this?

    • Just scan wireless network again. Then connect again. But you need provide password or other credentials. "Forget" is just deleting the settings.
