It is no secret to anyone that information is the most valuable resource of our time, therefore access to the worldwide network for every person is a priority. The Internet is an assistant in work and study, a provider of information and entertainment, a way to meet and communicate. But what if the Internet does not work on the tablet? After all, this is one of the most convenient gadgets for accessing the Web.
Internet access methods
If you have a tablet computer, then you can access the Internet in two ways - using the 3G module and via Wi-Fi. The first option will provide you with stable speed and constant access to the network, but in fact it costs much more. At the same time, it is necessary that your tablet be equipped with a special module that allows access to the World Wide Web. As for the second method, it is more practical. True, connecting your tablet to the Internet via Wi-Fi is only possible in certain areas, but at the same time you can connect for free at public access points and at a much lower cost - at home. By the way, it is for tablet computers that Wi-Fi Internet is much more widespread.
Access problems
Often users of these gadgets have a serious problem - the Internet does not work on the tablet. Fortunately, in most cases this problem is easily solved, in some situations you have to tinker with it, but you can almost always get the device to go online - you just need a little perseverance and attention.
Turn on the receiver
If you first became the owner of a tablet computer and, having discovered the Wi-Fi network, realized that the Internet does not work on the tablet, then you should first check the most possible problems. Go to the settings menu of your gadget and find the Wi-Fi or Wireless item there - it is he who is responsible for the operation of the receiver. If it is turned off, the tablet will not receive a wireless signal, so put the receiver in On mode and the Internet connection will be established. You can also get to this menu from the notification panel, which always displays information when it becomes possible to connect to the tablet’s Internet via Wi-Fi.
Connection setup
Turning on the receiver helps in many cases, but by no means in all. Most often, the network is determined independently, but it also happens that you have to configure it manually. And if after turning on the receiver your Internet still does not work on the tablet, then you should try the option with the setting. To do this, you need to go back to the settings and find the Wi-Fi item, only now you should also find the network to which your device refuses to connect, and go to it. There you will find your IP address and DNS servers that are used to access the Internet. All fields must be filled out so that you can connect to the tablet’s Internet connection. If at least one of them is empty, then you should contact the provider and find out the missing parameters. After their introduction, the tablet should go online without any problems.
Signal Level Check
There are situations in which you have already set up a network connection on your device, work on the Internet, and suddenly the connection disappears. If attempts to reconnect do not lead to anything, then the simplest answer to the question why the Internet disappeared on the tablet is a weak signal. A feature of a Wi-Fi connection is that it operates in a limited range, and the further your device is from the access point, the worse the connection. You can simply check the level and quality of communication - the Wi-Fi icon is always displayed on the tablet’s screen, which is a dot and three curved lines that symbolize the signal. If they are all full, then the signal is excellent. If only two are full, the Internet will work well, but not perfect. Full only one strip? This means that the connection quality will not be the best, and if all the strips are empty and only a dot is filled, then your gadget is close to disconnecting from the network. And when your tablet does not go online, it’s worth checking to see if even a dot is empty. If your concerns are confirmed, it is worth taking a more advantageous position closest to the access point. In order to prevent this situation from happening again, it is recommended to purchase high-quality access points that have a high range of operation and good signal passability through obstacles such as walls, doors and furniture.
3rd party connections
Often the reason for the inability to connect to the Internet is the lack of knowledge of the user. The fact is that Wi-Fi Internet is initially shared, that is, anyone who is in the coverage area of an access point can enter the network. It would seem, what problems can this cause? But in fact, often the tablet does not go online when too many users have connected to your Wi-Fi. If they all carry out actions that require a lot of traffic (watching videos, downloading files, playing MMO projects), then, in simple terms, there is simply no place left for you. Of course, you can continue to help strangers get into the network, but it is much more reasonable to secure your access point by setting a password on it that only you will know. Then no one else will be able to use your Internet, and the problem with access to the network will be solved. You don’t have to enter a password every time you decide to connect to the Internet, just do it once - and from now on, the device will connect to the network as soon as it is in the coverage area of this Wi-Fi access point.
Authentication failed
One of the most common reasons for the lack of internet on your tablet is an authentication error. If you entered the network from the device without problems, and then you lost the Internet on the tablet, then it is entirely possible that the above error was the reason for this. Its essence lies in the fact that the tablet computer, as mentioned earlier, accesses the network using a specific password that was originally set. And if this password was set incorrectly, then further attempts to enter the Internet will be unsuccessful and will lead to a message about incorrect identification. Such an error may occur if you changed the password for the router, which is the access point, but forgot to do it on the tablet itself. In this case, you need to go to the settings menu, find the Wi-Fi item, find the network you need and select the "forget" option. After that, the selected connection will disappear from the list, and after a while it will appear again. You will get the opportunity to reconnect to the Internet, this time by specifying a new password, which is correct. After that, the tablet will again be connected to the Internet without any problems.
