Connect home Wi-Fi, the most common way to connect your tablet to the Internet. To use this method, you need to do a few simple steps:
- Open settings.
- Find the “Wireless Settings” or “Wi-Fi Settings” tab
- Enable data transfer.
- Then from the list that appears, found wi-fi, select the desired option.
- Enter a password if necessary.
When connecting to a router wirelessly, there are two main problems. Hanging up the connection process at the stage of "Obtaining an IP address", or the lack of the necessary wi fi address.
The inability to obtain an IP address is associated with an error in the network settings, either on the router or on the tablet itself. The most common cause is a DHCP server that is not enabled.
Reference! DHCP server, automatically distributes IP addresses, in accordance with the settings.
To enable it, you need to open the web interface of the router, and from it to start automatic DHCP. It happens that during long work there are malfunctions in the settings and it is enough just to reboot the router to restore correct operation.
Also, an error with obtaining an IP address may be due to an invalid Wi-Fi name. For example, specific characters or cyrillic are used. In this case, it is enough to simply rename the wi-fi connection in accordance with the standards, using only the Latin alphabet.
Another common problem is inappropriate types of encryption. There are several encryption standards and on some tablet models, there is no automatic selection. To see what type of encryption is used, you just need to open additional connection settings. And compare them with the settings of the router.
If the tablet cannot find the necessary Wi-Fi connection at all. That, most likely, this connection is simply hidden. To connect to such a network, you need to know all its data exactly. In the tab with the found networks, you need to open additional settings and select "add network". After entering in the window that appears all the necessary data. Now, when such a network is detected, the tablet will automatically connect to it.
Important! If you are sure that you entered all the data correctly, and the device still can not find the desired Wi-Fi. Perhaps the reason is a technical malfunction of the wireless network module on the router. In this case, the router must be taken to a service center to fix the problem.
How to connect the Internet on a tablet
The second most common way to access the Internet on a tablet will be 3G and 4G mobile Internet. The advantage of this option is location independence. And minus the additional monthly fee for the Internet and the tablet should have a special connector for the SIM card.
To connect to a mobile network, you first need a SIM card with the ability to access the Internet. It must be inserted into a special connector. Then in the settings of the wireless networks, enable data transfer.
Possible problems are often associated with incorrect operation of the Internet module, or with a banal lack of signal. If it is difficult to do something on your own, then you can cope with the settings yourself.
Important! On the SIM card, a tariff with Internet access must be connected. Otherwise, the connection will still be possible, but its cost will be unreasonably high.
If necessary, the tariff is connected and you are sure of the presence of a signal. Check the available connection points. To do this, open additional settings and check the available access points. If they are completely absent, then most likely the cause is a technical malfunction of the device.
How to turn on and off the Internet
Developers have long taken care of ordinary users. And to turn the Internet off or on, just swipe your finger down the screen and click on the corresponding icon in the window that opens. Also, this operation can be done in the settings.
Most of the problems that arise can be solved on your own, often just restarting the device is enough. But if you find a technical malfunction, you should not disassemble the device yourself and try to repair it.
Also, when using mobile Internet, you should set limits on the amount of data transmitted. If your tariff includes 10Gb of Internet, then setting a limit of 9.5Gb gadget will warn you and you will not go beyond the limit.
