Applies to all Near-Stock Android phones and tablets. Menu names may vary slightly by Android version.
Connecting your phone to a Wi-Fi network is essential for downloading apps, streaming content, making video calls, and keeping your mobile data usage low. Android supports all standard Wi-Fi security protocols and saves multiple networks so the phone connects automatically whenever you are in range. The steps below also cover common troubleshooting methods if you experience connection issues.
On your phone: open Settings > Wi-Fi
Toggle Wi-Fi ON
Tap the network name (SSID) you want to connect to
Enter the Wi-Fi password and tap 'Connect'
The Wi-Fi icon appears in the status bar when connected
To forget a network: long-press it and tap 'Forget'
For connection issues: toggle Wi-Fi off, wait 5 seconds, toggle back on
If still failing: forget the network and reconnect from scratch
