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 that 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 that 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 that 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.

• Connect your Chromebook to Wi-Fi
