How to configure the Internet on your tablet in various ways

Beginners and inexperienced users have the question: "How to configure the Internet on the tablet?" - After its purchase. After all, without connecting to the global web, it is impossible to take advantage of all the advantages that this device has. For these purposes, 3G or Wi-Fi is most often used today. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages, which will also be considered in the framework of this article.

3G

First, we'll find out how to set up the Internet on the tablet in the networks of mobile operators. Not every such device is equipped with such a module, and you need to review the documentation and find out whether it is present or not in the device. If it does not exist, you must additionally purchase an external 3G-modem, which is supported by a mobile PC (this information is available in the user manual). Then, a SIM card is inserted into it, and it is connected to the tablet using an OTG cable. In the second case, when the device is equipped with a 3G module, it is enough to install it in the corresponding slot. All the above manipulations must be performed only in the off state. Then we run it. Further, after the download is completed, automatic settings from the operator must come. Accept and save them. If this does not happen, you need to manually configure the Internet on the tablet. MTS, for example, in the section "Applications / Settings / Wireless Networks" requires creating a new APN and setting the following parameters:

• Connection name: "MTS-Internet".
• Login and password MTS.
• APN should be the following: "internet.mts.ru".

Save the changes and reboot. We enable Internet connection in the upper drop-down menu by clicking on the corresponding button. We activate the data transfer service by calling 0890 (suitable for MTS subscribers, for other operators it is necessary to clarify this information). After that, you can check the serviceability of this service by running the browser and going to the address "mail.ru", for example. If everything is done correctly, then you will open this mail portal. Otherwise, call 0890 and find out the problem. Important nuance: the balance of your account should be positive.

Wi-Fi

And now we'll figure it out how to set up the Internet on the tablet Based on the technology of Wi-Fi. First, turn on this adapter in the top dropdown menu by clicking on the corresponding button. Then go to "Applications / Wi-Fi". After starting this utility, we search for all available connection points. To do this, click the "Search" button and wait for the scan to finish. Then select the network of interest from the list and connect to it. If there is protection, you will need to enter a password. Close all windows and start the browser. We enter all the same mail portal «mail.ru» and check working capacity. So you can set up the Internet on the tablet "Samsung" or any other manufacturer. It is important that he worked under the OS "Android".

Conclusion

Within the framework of this material, the most common variants of how to set up the Internet on a tablet were considered. The first of these is 3G. It allows you to access the global web almost anywhere in the world. But at the same time its speed is low. Another disadvantage of this decision is the high tariffs of operators. The second way is Wi-Fi. Its speed, depending on the type of router used, can reach 300 Mb / s. The second plus is the possibility of connecting an unlimited tariff to the provider. But the main disadvantage of such a solution is a short range, which is limited to several tens of meters, at best. Therefore, 3G is good for frequent business trips, and Wi-Fi is an alternative option for home use.
