For security reasons you should attempt to setup your wireless connection using system certificate checks. This should be possible on newer Android versions. If you cannot connect with these settings, you can try connecting without validating certificates, but this is not recommended.


There are many different versions of Android OS available. While the setup instructions below are similar for all devices, the exact wording or menu locations may vary slightly device to device, and version to version.

Step 1: Settings and Connections

On your Android device open Settings, then tap Connections.

Step 2: Turn on and tap Wi-Fi
