Manage Wi-Fi networks

By default, your Chromebook tries to connect to networks in this order of preference:

• Wired local area network
• Secure wireless network
• Unsecure wireless network
• Mobile data network (only used if your Chromebook has a data plan)

If you have multiple Wi-Fi networks in your area, you can choose to automatically connect to a specific one:

1. Make sure you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
2. At the bottom right, select the time.
3. Select Settings  .
4. In the "Network" section, select Wi-Fi  your network.
5. Turn on Automatically connect to this network.

If you have multiple Wi-Fi networks in your area, you can tell your Chromebook to prefer one network over another:

1. Make sure you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
2. At the bottom right, select the time.
3. Select Settings .
4. In the "Network" section, select Wi-Fi  your network.
5. Turn on Prefer this network.

Your Chromebook saves network information when you connect to a network. To delete that info:

1. Sign in to your Chromebook. 
2. At the bottom right, select the time.
3. Select Settings .
4. In the "Network" section, select Wi-Fi.
5. Select Known networks.
6. Find the network you want to forget, then select More   Forget.

1. On your Chromebook, at the bottom right, select the time.
2. Turn on Wi-Fi and connect to a network.
3. Select your network again to open “Settings.” 
4. Turn on Hidden network.
   • When you turn on this setting, you’ll be able to find and connect to a hidden network.

Tips:

• If you can't find the hidden network in the list, you need to add it first. Learn how to connect to an unlisted network.
• If you connected to a hidden network in the past, and don’t want others to observe which hidden network you’ve configured, forget the network.
