Toshiba AT7-C Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a Wi-Fi network, Adding a Wi-Fi network

To use Wi-Fi on your tablet, you need to access a wireless access point, or “hotspot”. If access points are opened 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 can turn on and connect to a Wi-Fi network by following steps:

1.Open the Settings app from All Apps.

2.Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS, tap Wi-Fi.

3.Slide the Wi-Fiswitch to the ON position.

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 a network name to see more details.

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 have connected to a network, tap on the network name for details about the status, signal strength, link speed, security type and IP address.

Adding a Wi-Fi network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so the tablet will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.

To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security system is deployed and to obtain the password or other required security credentials.

1.Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
