In this article, using the example of HTC Flyer and Apple iPad, we describe how to configure WiFi on a tablet. The difference between the two devices is the type of operating system installed on them. In one case, it’s iOS (iPad), and in the other - “Android” (Flyer). Hence the difference in connecting to a wireless network.
What is WiFi?
Before setting up WiFi on the tablet, we’ll find out, “What is this?” This is a wireless technology for transmitting information, which in some cases is capable of operating at speeds of up to 150 Mbps. This allows you to easily view almost any page from the global web, download files and exchange messages on social networks. Its only minus is the small distance at which it acts. 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 technology now.
Router
The first step in setting up WiFi on your tablet is connecting and configuring your router. First, select a place to install it. It can be a table, a shelf or even a wall (in this case, you will need to hammer a couple of dowels into the wall for mounting). The location should be chosen so that the incoming wire from the provider and the 220 V outlet are nearby. Next, the first one is connected to the blue connector on the router. The power supply is installed in the outlet, and its cord - in 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. Turn it on by pressing the appropriate button. After the router is finished loading, go to its settings from the PC. To do this, launch the browser and enter 192.168.1.1. In response, you will need to enter the username and password that are listed in the documentation for 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 WPA2 encryption type and automatically reboot it. Then the PC turns off and the router is ready to go.
Android
Let's take a look at WiFi setup using the HTC Flyer example. The tablet is distinguished by a rather modest technical characteristics, but its price is also affordable. Again, its connection algorithm is universal and can be used on various other devices running this OS. The procedure for setting it up in this situation is as follows. Go to "Applications \ Settings \ Wireless Networks". Here we turn on the network adapter. At the next stage, we return to the "Applications". We find the WiFi utility. We launch it. Then we do a scan. In the list of found networks we find the one that was set at the previous stage. We are connected to it. If necessary, enter the password. Next, launch the browser and work with the Internet.
Apple tablets
Now let's see how to connect the Apple iPad tablet. There are later modifications, but the algorithm on them remains unchanged. To get started, go to Settings and select WiFi there. Turn on the adapter. Then, in the “Select a network” list, we find the one that we previously set at the router setup stage . If necessary, enter the key for access. Then close the "Settings". We launch the browser and begin to surf the Internet.
Conclusion
In this article, using the example of HTC Flyer and Apple iPad, we describe how to configure WiFi on a tablet. There is nothing complicated in this operation, and everyone can handle it without any problems. So you can safely take and do.
