In the modern world, a person is forced to interact with a huge amount of information. And now it's hard to imagine life without the Internet. Also, almost every person has a device like a smartphone or tablet. And naturally there is a need to use portable gadgets to access the global network.
One of the most convenient options would be a tablet. Due to their size, they are comfortable to use, both in business applications, and for simple communication with friends on social networks. This article describes the options for connecting the tablet to the Internet, the main problems that can be found and how to fix them.
How to enable Wi-Fi on the tablet
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 tab "Wireless Settings" or "Wi-Fi Settings"
- Enable data transfer.
- Then from the list that appears wi-fi, select the desired option.
- Enter a password if necessary.
When connecting to a router over a wireless network, there are two main problems. The hang up of the connection process at the “Obtaining an IP address” stage, or the absence of the required wi fi address
The inability to obtain an IP address is due to an error in the network settings, either on the router or on the tablet itself. The most common cause is a non-enabled DHCP server.
Reference! DHCP server automatically distributes IP addresses, in accordance with the specified settings.
To enable it, you need to open the web interface of the router, and from it start the automatic operation of DHCP. It happens that during long work there are failures in the settings and it is enough just to restart the router to restore correct operation.
Also, an error with obtaining an IP address may be associated with an invalid Wi-Fi name. For example, specific characters or Cyrillic characters are used. In this case, simply rename the wi-fi connection in accordance with the standards, using only the Latin alphabet.
Another common problem is not the appropriate types of encryption. There are several encryption standards and on some models of tablets, there is no automatic selection. To see what type of encryption is used, you just need to open the advanced connection settings. And check them with the settings of the router.
If the tablet can not find the necessary Wi-Fi connection at all. That, most likely, this connection is simply hidden. To connect to such a network, you must know all its data. In the tab with the found networks, you need to open the advanced settings and select "add network". Then enter 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 have entered all the data correctly, but the device still cannot find the necessary Wi-Fi. Perhaps the reason is a technical malfunction of the wireless network module on the router. In this case, the router must be attributed to the service center to resolve the problem.
How to connect the Internet on the 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 an additional monthly fee for the Internet and the tablet should have a special connector for the SIM card.
To connect to the mobile network, first of all you need a SIM-card with the ability to access the Internet. It must be inserted into a special connector. After that, in the settings of wireless networks, enable data transfer.
Possible problems are often associated with incorrect operation of the Internet module, or with the banal absence of a signal. If it is difficult to do something with a signal, then you can handle the settings yourself.
Important! On the SIM-card must be connected to the tariff with Internet access. Otherwise, the connection will still be possible, but its cost will be unreasonably high.
If necessary, the tariff is connected and you are sure that there is a signal. Check available connection points. To do this, open the advanced settings and check the available access points. If they are completely absent, then most likely the reason 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 off or turn off the Internet, just drag your finger across the screen from top to bottom and click on the corresponding icon in the window that opens. Also, this operation can be done in the settings.
Most of the problems can be solved on their own, it is often enough just to reboot the device. But if you find a technical malfunction, do not disassemble the device yourself and try to fix it.
Also, when using the mobile Internet, you should set limits on the amount of data transmitted. If your tariff provides for 10Gb Internet, then setting a limit of 9.5Gb gadget will warn you and you will not go beyond the limit.
