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.
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the
2
list of discovered networks).
Enter the SSID (name) of the network.
3
If necessary, enter security or other network configuration details.
See "Turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network" on page 58.
Touch Save.
4
The information about the network is saved, so you are connected automatically
the next time you come within range of this 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.
Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
1
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch the name of the network.
2
Touch Forget in the dialog that opens.

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.
Touch the policy you want.
