Turn on your BVSD Chromebook, and look for the Wi-Fi icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Click on that icon and click where it says “No network”. This opens a new window that allows you to choose your home wi-fi network.
Click on the name of your home Wi-Fi or the hotspot. It will ask you to enter the password.
Sometimes there is a big window in the center of the screen telling you “Network not available”. Instead of clicking on the Wi-Fi icon in the bottom corner, you can use that big window to choose your Wi-Fi network. Click the down triangle (▼) to choose your home Wi-Fi or hotspot. Click on the name of the Wi-Fi network, and it will ask you to type in the password.
