How do I set my Wi-Fi to automatically connect?

How to Configure Automatic Wi-Fi Connection

Connecting to Wi-Fi networks can be a tedious process, especially if you have to manually enter the password and re-enter it when the connection drops. Fortunately, most devices have a feature that allows you to set your Wi-Fi to automatically connect, saving you time and effort. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Access Device Settings

• Android: Go to “Settings” > “Network & internet” > “Wi-Fi.”
• iOS: Go to “Settings” > “Wi-Fi.”
• Windows: Go to “Settings” > “Network & Internet” > “Wi-Fi.”
• Mac: Go to the Apple menu > “System Preferences” > “Network.”

Step 2: Select Wi-Fi Network

In the Wi-Fi section of your device’s settings, you should see a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Choose the network that you want to connect to automatically.

Step 3: Enable Auto-Join

Next to the selected network name, you should find an option labeled “Auto-Join” or “Auto-Connect.” This option may be represented by a toggle switch or a checkmark.

Step 4: Toggle On Auto-Join

If the toggle is grey or the checkmark is empty, it means that automatic connection is not enabled. Tap or click on the toggle to activate it. You should see a green toggle or a filled checkmark, indicating that automatic connection is now enabled.

Step 5: Verify Connection

Once you have enabled automatic connection, try moving out of and back into the range of your Wi-Fi network. Your device should automatically connect without any manual input.

Note:

• On some devices, the auto-join feature may be hidden within the advanced settings of the Wi-Fi network.
• If you encounter any issues with automatic connection, try restarting your device or router.
• Some older devices may not have the ability to automatically connect to Wi-Fi networks.
