Wi-Fi in kiosk modeSolved

I’m not completely sure, but I remember seeing options in the Peripheral Settings section of the kiosk policy that looked related to Wi‑Fi. Maybe enabling those could help.

Hello everyone, Thanks for reaching out. 

To allow users to connect to Wi‑Fi networks while staying inside kiosk mode, you’ll need to configure the right Peripheral Settings in your kiosk policy: 

1. Navigate to the Policies tab and select your kiosk policy, then go to Manage → Modify → Kiosk Lockdown → Android Kiosk Lockdown → Peripheral Settings.
2. Under Network, enable the following options together:
   • Users can turn Wi‑Fi on/off 
   • Connect to and switch between Wi‑Fi networks 
   • Users can disconnect from currently connected network
   • Show all available Wi‑Fi networks

   These settings ensure that users can see available networks, disconnect from the current one, and connect to new networks directly from the kiosk.

 

3. To make these options accessible, enable Access peripheral settings under Other Options and select Floating icon. This icon will appear on top of your app and acts as a secure shortcut.

 
With this setup, users can tap the floating icon to open the Wi‑Fi panel, search for available networks, and connect without leaving the kiosk environment or accessing the full system settings. 

Once you save and associate the policy, the floating icon should appear on the device. Please check if the Wi‑Fi panel opens as expected and let us know if you face any issues.
