For beginners and inexperienced users, the question arises: "How to set up the Internet on the tablet?", - after its acquisition. 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 are now most often used. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages, which will also be considered in the framework of this article.
3G
First, find out how to set up the Internet on the tablet in the networks of mobile operators. Not every similar device is equipped with such a module, and you need to look at the documentation and find out its presence or absence in the device. If it is not, then you must additionally purchase an external 3G-modem, which is supported by a mobile PC (this information is in the instruction manual). Then a SIM card is inserted into it, and it connects 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 previously listed manipulations should be performed only in the off state. Then run it. Next, at the end of the download, automatic settings from the operator should come. We accept and save them. If this does not happen, then 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".
- MTS username and password.
- APN should be as follows: "internet.mts.ru".
We save the changes and do a reboot. We allow Internet connection in the upper drop-down menu by clicking on the corresponding button. We activate the data transfer service by phone 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 launching the browser and going to the address “mail.ru”, for example. If everything is done correctly, then you will open this mail portal. Otherwise, we call 0890 and find out the problem. An important nuance: the balance of your account must be positive.
Wifi
Now, let's figure out how to set up the Internet on a tablet. based on Wi-Fi technology. First, turn on this adapter in the upper drop-down menu by clicking on the corresponding button. Next, 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 complete. Then from the generated list we select the network we are interested in and connect to it. If protection is present, you will need to enter a password. Close all windows and launch the browser. We enter the same mail portal “mail.ru” and check the performance. So you can set up the Internet on a Samsung tablet or any other manufacturer. It is important that it runs on the Android OS.
Conclusion
As part of this material, the most common options for how to set up the Internet on a tablet were considered. The first one 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 solution is the high tariffs of operators. The second way is Wi-Fi. Its speed, depending on the type of router used, can reach 300 Mbps. The second plus is the ability to connect an unlimited tariff with the provider. But the main disadvantage of such a solution is a small radius of action, which is limited to several tens of meters, at best. Therefore, 3G is well suited for frequent business trips, and Wi-Fi is a non-alternative option for home use.
