The Kiosk Mode of AirDroid Business allows administrators to remotely control and manage wireless network access on multiple Android devices simultaneously. This includes enabling or disabling Wi-Fi, setting up preferred networks, and preventing users from modifying these settings.
In this article, we will guide you on the process of setting up Wireless Network Access in Kiosk Mode with AirDroid Business.
Step 1
Access the Wireless Network Settings for Kiosk Mode
Go to Admin Console > Policy & Kiosk > Policy & Kiosk Config Files. Click on the Arrow icon on your existing Config FileEdit.
If you have not created a Config File, click + Create Config File instead.
Next, click on Device Limitation;Wireless Network. This is where you can configure the Volume Settings.
Step 2
Configure Wireless Network Settings
The configuration includes three parts: Wi-Fi status, Wi-Fi network settings, and user access to Wi-Fi settings in Kiosk Mode.
Wi-Fi status
You can choose whether to keep your device's Wi-Fi ON/OFF by clicking the drop-down box. There are three options: None, Keep Enabled, or Keep Disabled.
Note : 1. If you choose to keep your device's Wi-Fi off, it will be completely disconnected from the internet until connecting it to an Ethernet cable or inserting a SIM card. 2. Devices enrolled through Android Enterprise or Zero Touch on Android 10.0 and above are not supported. 3. Requires location permission granted to the device's Biz Daemon.
Select Wi-Fi settings
Click the button [Add Wi-Fi Configuration], and you can set up the Wi-Fi network you want to add in the pop-up window. You can set the Wi-Fi network name, hidden state, Secure Type and Password, etc.
After you add Wi-Fi Configuration, you can click the drop-down box and choose the Wi-Fi network you just added.
Note : 1.You can choose to add multiple Wi-Fi networks to your settings and select a maximum of six between these Wi-Fi networks. By default, the system connects to the Wi-Fi networks in the order you select. 2. Devices enrolled through Android Enterprise or Zero Touch on Android 10.0 and above are not supported. 3. For the Wi-Fi settings to take effect on some specific devices (e.g., Xiaomi), their users need to locate Biz Daemon's permission management settings in the system settings and set the "Enable Wi-Fi" permission to "Allow".

Step 3
Save and Apply the Settings
After setting up this Kiosk File, click the "Save" button on the top right corner. (When you create this file for the first time, you will need to fill in the file name and remarks.)
Next, select the Kiosk File you just created or edited. Find the [Apply Config File to the following devices/groups] and click [+Add]. Choose the devices or groups to which you want to apply the kiosk settings to and confirm.
When the status in the list turns to "Applied successfully", it means the kiosk settings have been successfully applied to the target devices.
