If you are using your Plum Borough School District Chromebook at home, you will need to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network to access online learning resources, Google Classroom, and other district applications.
Make sure you know your home Wi-Fi network name and password. This information is usually available on your home router or from your internet service provider.
Step 1: Turn On Wi-Fi
- Turn on your Chromebook and sign in if prompted.
- At the bottom-right corner of the screen, select the time to open Quick Settings.
- Select the Wi-Fi or Not connected option.
- Make sure Wi-Fi is turned On.
- Your Chromebook will automatically search for available wireless networks.
If you already see your home Wi-Fi network name and a signal strength indicator, your Chromebook may already be connected.
Step 2: Select Your Home Wi-Fi Network
- Find your home Wi-Fi network in the list of available networks.
- Select your network name.
- If prompted, enter your home Wi-Fi password.
- Select Connect.
- Wait for the Chromebook to establish a connection.
When possible, connect to your private, password-protected home Wi-Fi network. Avoid connecting to unfamiliar or unsecured public networks, where your information may be more easily exposed.
Step 3: Verify Your Connection
- Look for the Wi-Fi signal icon in the bottom-right corner of your Chromebook.
- Open the Google Chrome browser.
- Visit a familiar website to confirm your internet connection is working.
Having Trouble Connecting?
If your Chromebook cannot connect to your home Wi-Fi, try the following:
- Check your password: Make sure you entered the correct home Wi-Fi password.
- Move closer to your router: A weak wireless signal can prevent a successful connection.
- Turn Wi-Fi off and back on: Allow the Chromebook to search for available networks again.
- Restart your Chromebook: Shut down the device and turn it back on.
- Check other devices: See whether another device in your home can connect to the internet using the same Wi-Fi network.
