How should unknown networks be added on the iPad as per the lab?

• A. Automatically
• B. Manually
• C. Automatically via discovery
• D. Not at all

Answer: (B)

Unknown or not-yet-known networks aren’t shown in the iPad’s Wi‑Fi list because the device can only present networks it recognizes or that are broadcasting their SSID. To connect to one of these, you have to add it by hand, entering the exact network name (SSID), the correct security type, and the password. This deliberate input ensures you connect to the intended network and not to a nearby one with a similar name. In practice, you’d go to Settings, Wi‑Fi, choose the option to join a network not listed (often labeled Other), type the precise SSID, select the appropriate security (like WPA2/WPA3), and enter the password. Once saved, the iPad will connect automatically when in range. Automatic discovery won’t help for unknown networks because they don’t appear in the list, and not at all would mean no connection possible.
