Connecting to Wi-Fi networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your tablet, you need to access a wireless access point, or “hotspot”. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your tablet so it can connect to them.
There are numerous systems for securing Wi-Fi connections, including some that rely on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only authorized users can connect.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it to extend the life of your battery. The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.

Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a Wi-Fi network
You may turn on and connect to a Wi-Fi network by following steps:
1.Open the Settings screen.
2.Tap Wireless & networks.
3.Tap Wi-Fito turn it on.
The tablet scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon.
If the tablet finds a network that you connected to previously, it will connect to it automatically.
4.Tap Wi-Fi settings and choose a network to connect it.
If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to connect to that network by tapping Connect.
If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)
When you connected to a network, tap on the network name in the Wi- Fi settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings.
Receiving notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is turned on, you will receive notifications in the Status bar when your tablet detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1.Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
