Managing WiFi Settings on Android Devices Using WeGuard

Wi-Fi control in Mobile Device Management (MDM) is crucial for ensuring effective device management, security, and operational efficiency within an organisation. By having control over Wi-Fi settings, administrators can ensure that devices stay connected to the network when needed, enabling seamless communication and data synchronization.

WeGuard allows administrators to have the ability to configure WiFi settings to ON, OFF, or NONE, based on organisational requirements. 

WiFi Settings Policy Options

    WiFi OFF

        WiFi is always OFF, and end users cannot turn it ON.

       NONE
