detected Wi-Fi networks that are within range.
When connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi icon displays at
the top of the touchscreen.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move
Model Y closer to the access point or
consider using a range extender.
NOTE: When connecting to a 5GHz network (if
available), check which channels are supported in your region.
