Connect to secure networks with a Passpoint profile

Your Chromebook automatically finds and connects to compatible and secured Wi-Fi networks with a Passpoint profile. A Passpoint profile is downloaded and installed through an Android application. This lets you connect without the need to select the network or manually enter your credentials.
