Can my Envision Glasses switch between two known active networks?
Yes, to switch between two active networks within range of your glasses you can use Voice Commands and say Quick Switch.
This will allow you to switch seamlessly between the networks you have previously taught your glasses. This is ideal in situations where you are connected to your home Wi-Fi network and want to switch to your personal hotspot.
If your glasses recognise more than two known networks within range, you will be shown a list of all available networks to select the one you prefer.
You can also activate Quick Switch by going to your Envision Glasses' Settings, here are the detailed steps to do so:
Step 1: Go to Home and do a one-finger swipe back to navigate to Settings.
Step 2: Go to Wi-Fi and you will hear the status of your Wi-Fi and the network you are connected to.
Step 3: Do a one-finger swipe forward and you will hear 'Quick-switch to another known and active network around you'. Do a one-finger double tap here for the glasses to switch to the other known active network in range.
Step 4: The glasses will confirm the status and inform you that they are connected to this other network.
