SureLock/SureFox offers an effective lockdown of your device with no access to device settings and access only to allowed applications and websites, respectively. However, there are times when the user requires access to certain settings on devices, like Wi-Fi settings. This is mostly required for those devices that are constantly on the move from one Wi-Fi network to another or whose Wi-Fi network access credentials change frequently for security reasons.
You can overcome this concern with the help of the Wi-Fi Centre, which is automatically installed when you install SureLock or SureFox.
In SureLock, once it is added as an Allowed Application, it allows users to access and modify Wi-Fi settings without accessing device settings.
Purpose
