Change, delete, or reorder saved Wi-Fi networks

you're in range. If multiple networks are available, your tablet connects to the one closest to the top of your list of saved
networks.

2. In the drop-down list, tap Saved Networks.
• To change options for a saved network, tap the network.
• To move a saved network up or down in the list, touch and hold the network. Drag it to where you want it.
• To delete a saved network, tap
• To stop your tablet from automatically connecting to a saved network, tap the network. Clear the Enable Profile

Wi-Fi network options
For most Wi-Fi® networks, you won't need to change the network options. If you're having trouble connecting or if you need to
connect manually, you can set the network options yourself.
The options available depend on the type of network you're connecting to. To find out what settings to use, if you're
connecting to a home network, see the information that came with your Wi-Fi router; if you're connecting to an enterprise Wi-
Fi network, talk to your administrator; if you're connecting to a hotspot, see the information provided about the hotspot or talk
to an employee at the hotspot who might have details about how to connect.
