ÂÂConnecting to the Internet

This tablet can utilize Wi-Fi data networks to connect to the Internet. Wireless Wi-Fi technology can provide Internet access at distances of over 300 feet; however, this distance can be affected by your surrounding environment and Wi-Fi router.

Requirements

In order to connect to the Internet, you will need the following:

1.A wireless router or access point with a broad- band Internet connection

The wireless router must support Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connec- tions. If the router supports 802.11n, make sure that it has been configured to acc qept 802.11b/g connections as well.

A minimum connection speed of 64 Kbps is rec- ommended. Faster speeds will enable a better Internet experience.

2. The wireless router network settings

You will need to know the name of your network (SSID), as well as the password or other credentials if your network is secured. These settings can usually be found on the administration webpage of your wireless router.

Please refer to your wireless router’s documentation for help, or ask your network administrator for details.

You may encounter open Wi-Fi networks, or “hot spots.” These networks are usually configured so that you can simply connect to them without needing to know its settings; the tablet will ob- tain all the information it needs from the router automatically.
