Ve a los ajustes sin cable para actualizar.
‘Sin cable’ is a literal translation of ‘wireless’ but sounds unnatural; use ‘inalámbricos’ or ‘Wi‑Fi’.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'ajustes' is preferred for device settings, while 'configuración' is more common in formal documentation. 'Inalámbricos' is the standard adjective for anything wireless, but you’ll also hear 'Wi‑Fi' used as a loanword, especially in tech contexts. Keep the tone informal (using 've') when speaking to a friend or a user who has asked for help; switch to the formal 'vaya' in professional customer‑service settings.
