  5. Under Settings<\/strong>, enter the name of the wireless network for SSID<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. For Encryption Type<\/strong>, choose the type of encryption used by this network:\n
      \n
    • WEP<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • WPA<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • WPA2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • WPA3<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    • None<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For Password<\/strong>, enter the <\/strong>WiFi network password. It does not display if your network is not encrypted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For Join Network Automatically<\/strong>, select to determine whether the device will automatically join the network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For Show Hidden Network<\/strong>, select this to determine whether the network is shown in the list of available networks. If the network does not appear, the user must type in the network name to access it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • (iOS 18+ & macOS 15+ only) Select Disable MAC Randomization<\/strong> to turn off MAC address randomization for a Wi-Fi network while the device is associated with that network. This feature also shows a privacy warning within System Settings indicating that the network has reduced privacy protections.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
