Wi-Fi Networks

The Wi-Fi Networks feature allows you to configure one or more networks so that devices connect automatically, without the need for user action, ensuring immediate and secure connectivity from the first use.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Agent version 1.19+)

  • Android 4.4+

  • iOS 4.0+

  • macOS 10.7+

Important notes for Android

On Android 10 or higher devices, the automatic connection will only work if the device is in Fully Managed (Device Owner) mode.

Use cases

  • By pre-configuring corporate Wi-Fi networks, the device connects automatically as soon as it is turned on or handed to the user, eliminating manual steps during the first access.

  • Users frequently forget passwords or have difficulty configuring corporate networks. With automatic connection, the device "just works."

  • Ensures that all devices use the correct networks, preventing connections to insecure or unauthorized networks.

  • In scenarios such as education, logistics, healthcare, or shared devices, automatic connection ensures that any user can use the device without prior configuration.

  • Devices moving between different branches can automatically connect to registered networks, ensuring constant communication with corporate systems.

Where to access the feature

  1. Access the Settings menu and choose the configuration you want to change.

  2. Select the Wi-Fi Networks option.

  3. Click the "+" button to create a new configuration.

Fill in the fields as shown below:

  • SSID: Name or identifier of the Wi-Fi network.

  • Security type: Enter the security type configured on the network:

    • WEP

    • WPA/WPA2

    • 802.1x EAP (TLS)

    • Any (Personal)

    • WPA3-Personal (SAE) (applicable from Pulsus version 7.2.02)

    • 802.1x EAP (TTLS) (applicable from Pulsus version 7.2.02)

    • 802.1x PEAP (applicable from Pulsus version 7.2.02)

    ⚠️ It is necessary to know the network's security type in advance.

  • Password: Password to access the Wi-Fi network.

  • Hidden network: Enable this option if the network is not visible on the devices.

  • Auto-connect: When enabled, the device will automatically connect to the network whenever it is within range.

  • Disable MAC randomization: Windows uses MAC address randomization when connecting to Wi-Fi networks. This practice increases user privacy by preventing device tracking on public networks, generating a random MAC address for each connection. Enabling this option will make Windows connect to Wi-Fi networks using its real MAC address.

To enable/disable a Wi-Fi Network for the selected configuration, simply click the toggle as shown in the image below.

Attention: When the button is orange (or your theme's color), the Wi-Fi network is active for that configuration; if the button is gray, the configuration is inactive.

Save the configuration and apply the policy to the desired devices.

Remove and Edit network

To remove a Wi-Fi network, simply click the 3-dot button and then click remove from list.

To edit a Wi-Fi network, simply hover your mouse over the network you want to edit and click the pencil button to edit.
