Wi-Fi
You can configure the Wi-Fi settings and configure protocol settings for Mac, Apple TV and iOS devices. For iOS 11.3 and above, the wi-fi sharing feature is restricted by default for the Wi-Fi distributed by Mobile Device Manager Plus.
To ease the Wi-Fi configuration process, you can add all the required Wi-Fi configurations to a single profile. This will ensure the device connects to any of the specified Wi-Fi networks when in it's vicinity. It also reduces the chances of the device being unmanaged, in case connection to Wi-Fi networks not distributed by MDM, is restricted. Using this profile, you can ensure managed Apple devices can easily connect to your enterprise's Wi-Fi network.
