Working with Wi-Fi networks

Using Wi-Fi you can connect to a wireless network and browse the internet, download apps, send email messages, access online services, or access other computers and devices on your network.

Before you can send and receive data over Wi-Fi, you need to turn on Wi-Fi on the TSC510 controller and connect to a wireless network.

Accessing Wi-Fi settings and connecting to a network

You can access Wi-Fi settings and connect to a network from the following:

  • From the Apps screen, open the Settings app. Tap Network & internet, then tap Internet to open the Internet settings screen.

  • From Quick Settings on a Home screen. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings. If the device is connected to Wi-Fi, the Internet Quick Settings tile shows a Wi-Fi icon with signal strength; if not connected, a globe icon with a question mark is shown. Tap the Internet Quick Settings tile to open the Internet pop-up dialog.

    Tap See All at the bottom of the pop-up dialog to access the full list of available Wi-Fi networks.

  • From Quick Settings, tap-hold the Internet Quick Settings tile to open the Internet setting screen.

From Quick Settings or the Internet settings screen:

  • To turn Wi-Fi on if it is off, tap the slider to turn Wi-Fi on. A list of available networks displays.

    If the network is secured and you need a password, a padlock icon displays next to the network.

  • To connect to a network when Wi-Fi is on, tap the required network to connect to it. Follow the instructions on-screen to enter the password if one is required.

  • To turn Wi-Fi off if it is on, tap the slider to turn Wi-Fi off.

  • If Wi-Fi is on and you are connected to a network and want to connect to a different network, tap the network you want to connect to. Follow the instructions on-screen to enter the password if one is required.

See The Android interface for more information on the Apps and Home screens, and Quick Settings.

Once you are connected:

  • Connected shows under the network name.

  • The Wi-Fi network is a Saved network. When in range, your device automatically connects to it.

Disconnecting from a Wi-Fi network

At the top of the Internet screen, tap the On/Off switch to turn off Wi-Fi. Or, tap the network and tap Disconnect.

Forgetting a Wi-Fi network

If you do not want your device to automatically connect to a saved Wi-Fi network, you can forget that network.

To forget a wireless network so it no longer appears in your list of networks:

  1. From the Apps screen, open the Settings app.

  2. Tap Network & internet.

  3. Tap Internet.

  4. At the top of the Internet screen, make sure the On/Off switch is On.

  5. Tap the saved network you want to forget, then tap Forget.

Advanced Wi-Fi settings

To change the advanced Wi-Fi settings on your device:

  1. On the Internet screen, scroll down past the available networks and tap Network preferences.

  2. Tap an available setting option:

    • Turn on Wi-Fi automatically. Wi-Fi will turn on near high-quality saved networks, e.g. your home network.

    • Notify for public networks. Get a notification when your device finds a Wi-Fi network to which it can connect.

    • Install certificates. Digital certificates can identify your device for many purposes, including VPN or Wi-Fi network access.

    • Wi-Fi Direct. Let your device connect with other Wi-Fi Direct-capable devices without a network.
