Networking Issues
My SHIELD won't connect to Wi-Fi.
Here are some troubleshooting steps if your SHIELD won't connect to the Internet.
If your Wi-Fi network appears on the SHIELD
If you see your Wi-Fi network listed but can't connect, try the following:
Ensure that your SHIELD is not connected to your network via Ethernet. An Ethernet
connection automatically disables Wi-Fi networking.
Make sure you're using the correct network password.
Restart your SHIELD.
Check if other devices can connect to the Wi-Fi network you're using. If not, there may
be an issue with the router.
If your router is having issues in general, update your router firmware.
If you're using a Wi-Fi network at a business, hotel, or school, you may have trouble
connecting. Networks at these locations don't always work with SHIELD. Contact the
people in charge of the Wi-Fi network for assistance.
If your Wi-Fi network does not appear on the SHIELD
If you don't see your Wi-Fi network listed, your network name (SSID) may be hidden.
NOTE If you are setting up your SHIELD for the first time, when you get to the Wi-Fi
network as part of on-screen setup, start at Step 4 below.
Here's how to add a hidden network:
1. From your SHIELD Home screen, select Network Settings .
2. Select Wi-Fi.
3. Find or select Add new network.
4. Enter the network name (SSID) and other security details, if needed.
