Nexus Wifi Assistant

[Mark Graves2]

Anyone gotten this yet?

 

[bjrosen]

No. I'm guessing it will be in the Oct update.

I have it on my Project Fi 6P and it really makes sense for that service as you don't get huge amounts of data. I'm not sure how much of an advantage it would be if you get lots of data with your phone plan unless you need to save data by switching to wifi...

I just got it today... and I've been checking daily

 

[Eric The Duke]

Does anyone know where there are networks that wifi assistant will connect to? I got it on my phone and I want to test it out.

 

[Explicit]

Checked and Wi-Fi assistant is now available in my phone. Gonna try it out tomorrow and see if it works.

Where do you check to see if you have WiFi assistant? I swear when I came home today and connected to my home network I saw a message I have never seen before on my 6P. It said something about verify the network?

Settings -> Google -> Networking

 

[Mark Graves2]

I still don't have it. I wonder if its because I am enrolled in the Beta program.

 

[NewPepper]

Settings -> Google -> Networking

Silly me... I was looking for it under settings>wi-fi

Not sure when it showed up but I just turned it on.

Thanks!

Seems like I don't have that setting yet?? I have the assistant installed..

BTW, it appears that Wifi Assistant is Off by default, so you need to enable it if you want it.

How do you enable it, I don't think I have it yet

 

[Robisan]

How do you enable it, I don't think I have it yet

As noted upthread, go to Settings -> Google -> Networking.

Can not find -Networking

 

[Eric The Duke]

Can not find -Networking

Then you don't have it yet. Networking only shows up when WIFI assistant is on your device.

How do you enable it, I don't think I have it yet

Settings --> Wireless & networks --> ...More --> VPN --> Wi-Fi Assistant --
Click the gear and enable

 

[GSDer]

Or Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Gear symbol -> Use open Wi-Fi automatically

Still not showing up on my 6P.. Thought it would have been in the Connectivity Services update from a few days ago.....No Love

The main setting for this is in Settings - Google - Networking ... the entry is the VPN menu is simply the entry for Google's VPN service that this accesses.

If you don't see it under the Google settings, it's probably just a function of Google's staged rollout policy and your number hasn't come up yet.
