•If the device does not automatically connect to a known network, select your Wi-Fi network from the list. If the device does not detect your Wi-Fi network, continue to the next step.

•Try connecting to the Wi-Fi network with another computer or device.

•If you cannot connect using the other device, there may be a problem with your Internet connection or wireless router. Unplug the modem and the wireless router and reboot the modem. After the modem re-establishes an Internet connection, plug in the wireless router and try connecting again. If you still can't connect with the other device or computer, contact your Internet service provider.

•If you can connect with the other device, but not with the HP TouchPad, continue with the next step.

•Does your Wi-Fi network use MAC address filtering? MAC address filtering is a common method of securing a Wi-Fi network. The filter list is similar to a guest list at a party; if you’re not on the list, you can't come in. The filter list (allowing access to your network) lives on your Wi-Fi router. If your Wi-Fi network uses MAC address filtering, you need to log in to the Wi-Fi router and add your device’s MAC address to the access control list. Because each router has a unique method to perform this task, consult your router documentation for detailed instructions. To find your device’s MAC address: Open Device Info and tap More Info. The MAC address is the Wi-Fihex number under Device.

•Restart your device (see Restart your device).
