Wireless Local Area Networks

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the device to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the device on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the device must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
To extend the life of the battery, turn off Wi-Fi when not in use.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the
Wireless & networks
 settings to configure the device to match the security scheme.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the
Wireless & networks (Android 11 only)
 or
Network & Internet (Android 13 only)
 settings to configure the device to match the security scheme.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the
Network & Internet
 settings to configure the device to match the security scheme.
