These are the settings you can adjust:
1
Network notification:
By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive
notications in the Status bar when your device detects an open Wi-Fi
network. Uncheck this option to turn o notications
2
Avoid poor connections:
Check to automatically avoid using networks
with a low-quality or intermittent Internet connection.
3
Keep Wi-Fi during sleep:
To conserve mobile data usage, your device
stays connected to Wi-Fi when the sc
reen goes to sleep.
Touch this option to change this default behavior: either to stay
connected to Wi-Fi only when the device is connected to a charger
(when battery life isn't a problem), or never to stay connected to Wi-Fi
during sleep. The latter choice is likely to increase mobile data usage.
You may want to revisit this setting if you receive a notification that
you're approaching your speci
ed mobile data limit.

Specify Automatic, 5 GHz, or 2.4 GHz frequency
