# Enterprise Wifi Configuration for Android Devices

Enterprise Wi-Fi refers to a wireless network designed to meet the needs of large organizations, providing robust, secure, and scalable connectivity.

Scalefusion's WiFi configuration feature helps you create a WiFi network that can then be pushed to the devices so that the WiFi network is automatically configured on them. In this guide, we will see how to create Wi-Fi configurations (Simple and certificate-based) on Scalefusion Dashboard and then apply them to Android Device Profiles.

## Prerequisites

1. Devices should be OS 13 and above.
2. Supported on WPCO/COPE and BYO devices.

## Creating a Wi-Fi Configuration

1. Navigate to **Device Profiles & Policies** > **All Configurations**.
2. Under Global Settings click on **Wifi Settings**.

#### Global Settings

There are also some Global Settings through which you can give access to the device-user to use the Wi-Fi connections and switch to other available Wi-Fi. By default, all the settings are set to OFF.

| Settings | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Allow Users to access Wi-Fi connection inside the app | If enabled, this setting allows the user to access a Wi-Fi connection from inside the Scalefusion app. |
| Allow users to connect/disconnect from WiFi Network | Once enabled, users are allowed to connect or disconnect from the WiFi network. |
| **Delete Wifi Configuration from Device** | Deletes Wi-Fi configuration from the device. Select this to delete a Wi-Fi configuration when you unpublish it from the device or devices are moved to a different profile. > [!CAUTION] > Admins should use this option with caution as it will delete the configured Wi-Fi from the device, and the device may be disconnected. |
| Use the Legacy Connection Method | Allows you to use the Wi-Fi connection method from the Settings on your device. Enable this option if you observe issues with connecting to the configured Wi-Fi settings. |

To apply Global settings, click the **Apply** button after making selections.
