How do I set up WiFi on my tablet?

In this article, the example of HTC Flyer and Apple iPad describes how to configure WiFi on the tablet. The difference between these two devices is the type of operating system installed on them. In one case - it's iOS (iPad), and in another - "Android" (Flyer). Hence the difference in connection to a wireless network.

What is WiFi?

Before setting up WiFi on the tablet, find out: "What is it?". This is a wireless data transmission technology, which in some cases is capable of operating at speeds up to 150 Mbps. This allows you to easily view virtually any page from the global web, download files and exchange messages on social networks. The only minus is the small distance on which it operates. Most modern routers have a maximum of 10 meters. But this is quite enough for a small office or home, where there is simply no alternative to such a technology.

Router

The first step in how to configure WiFi on the tablet is to connect and configure the router. First, we select the place to install it. This can be a table, a shelf or even a wall (in this case you will need to couple a pair of dowels in the wall for fastening). The location should be chosen so that the incoming wire from the provider and the outlet with 220 V are next. Then the first one connects to the blue connector on the router. The power supply is installed in the socket, and its cord is inserted into the socket of the router. At this stage, you can not do without a stationary PC or laptop. They connect to any of the 4 remaining sockets using a separate cord. We turn it on by pressing the appropriate button. After downloading the router we go to its settings from the PC. To do this, start the browser and enter 192.168.1.1. In response you will need to enter the login and password, which are specified in the documentation to the router. Then in the section called "Wireless networks" we set the name of the access point and password. In this case, you need to select the type of encryption WPA2 and perform its automatic reboot. Then the PC turns off and the router is ready for use.

Android

Consider the WiFi setting on the example of Flyer from HTC. The tablet differs rather modest technical characteristics, but its price is also democratic. Again, the algorithm of its connection is universal and can be used on various other devices running this OS. The order of setting it in this situation is as follows. Go to the "Applications \ Settings \ Wireless Networks". Here we turn on the network adapter. At the next stage, we return to the "Applications". Find the WiFi utility. Run it. Then do the scan. In the list of found networks we find the one that was set at the previous stage. We connect to it. If necessary, we enter the password. Then start the browser and work with the Internet.

Apple tablets

Now consider how to connect iPad tablet iPad. There are later modifications, but the algorithm remains unchanged. First, go to the "Settings" and choose WiFi there. Turn on the adapter. Then, in the "Select network" list, we find the one that we previously specified during the configuration stage of the router. If necessary, enter the key for access. Then close the "Settings". Launch the browser and start plowing the Internet.

Conclusion

In this article, the example of HTC Flyer and Apple iPad describes how to configure WiFi on the tablet. There is nothing difficult in this operation, and everyone can deal with it without problems. So you can safely take and do.
