It's no secret that information is the most valuable resource of our time, so access to the World Wide Web for every person is a top priority. The Internet is an assistant in work and study, a provider of information and entertainment, a way to meet and communicate. But what to do if the Internet does not work on the tablet? After all, this is one of the most convenient gadgets for accessing the Web.
Methods of accessing the Internet
If you have a tablet computer, then you can access the Internet in two ways - using a 3G module and via Wi-Fi. The first option will provide you with stable speed and constant access to the network, but it also costs much more. In this case, it is necessary that your tablet is equipped with a special module that allows access to the World Wide Web. As for the second method, it is more practical. True, connecting a tablet to the Internet via Wi-Fi is possible only in certain areas, but at the same time you can connect for free in publicaccess points and at a much lower cost - at home. By the way, it is for tablet computers that Wi-Fi Internet is much more widespread.
Access problems
Often, users of such gadgets have a serious problem - the Internet does not work on the tablet. Fortunately, in most cases this problem is easily solved, in some situations you have to tinker, but almost always you can get the device to go online - you just need a little perseverance and attention.
Turning on the receiver
If you first became the owner of a tablet computer and, having discovered a Wi-Fi network, realized that the Internet does not work on the tablet, then first you should check the most possible problems. Go to the settings menu of your gadget and find the Wi-Fi or Wireless item there - it is he who is responsible for the functioning of the receiver. If it is disabled, then the tablet will not receive a wireless signal, so turn the receiver to On mode and the Internet connection will be established. You can also access this menu from the notification panel, which always displays information when it becomes possible to connect the tablet to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Connection setup
Turning on the receiver helps in many cases, but not in all. Most often, the network is determined independently, but it also happens that it has to be configured manually. And if, after turning on the receiver, the Internet still does not work for you ontablet, then you should try the option with the setting. To do this, you need to go back to the settings and find the Wi-Fi item, only now you should also find the network to which your device refuses to connect and go to it. There you will find your IP address and the DNS servers that are used to access the Internet. All fields must be completed in order to be able to connect to the Internet of the tablet. If at least one of them is empty, then you should contact the provider and find out the missing parameters. After their introduction, the tablet should go online without any problems.
Check signal strength
There are situations in which you have already set up a network connection on your device, work on the Internet, and suddenly the connection is lost. If attempts to reconnect do not lead to anything, then the simplest answer to the question of why the Internet disappeared on the tablet is a weak signal. The peculiarity of a Wi-Fi connection is that it operates in a limited range, and the farther your device is from the access point, the worse the connection will be. You can easily check the level and quality of communication - the Wi-Fi icon is always displayed on the tablet screen, which is a dot and three curved lines symbolizing a signal. If they are all full, then the signal is excellent. If only two are filled, the Internet will work well, but not ideally. Only one strip full? This means that the connection quality will not be the best, and if all the bars are empty, and only the dot is filled, then your gadget is close to disconnecting from the network. Andwhen your tablet does not go online, it is worth checking if even the dot is empty. If your fears are confirmed, you should take a more advantageous position closest to the access point. In order to prevent this situation from happening again, it is recommended to purchase high-quality access points that have a high range of operation and good signal penetration through obstacles such as walls, doors and furniture.
Third Party Connections
Often the reason for the inability to connect to the Internet is the user's ignorance. The fact is that Wi-Fi Internet is initially general, that is, anyone who is in the access point's coverage area can enter the network. It would seem, what problems could this cause? But in fact, often the tablet does not go online when too many users are connected to your Wi-Fi. If they all perform activities that require a lot of traffic (watching videos, downloading files, playing MMO projects), then, in simple terms, there is simply no room left for you. Of course, you can continue to help other people get into the network, but it is much wiser to secure your access point by setting a password on it that only you will know. Then no one else will be able to use your Internet, and the problem with accessing the network will be solved. You do not have to enter a password every time you decide to connect to the Internet, it is enough to do it only once - and henceforth the device will connect to the network as soon aswill be within the range of this Wi-Fi hotspot.
Authentication failed
One of the most common reasons for not having internet on a tablet is an authentication error. If you accessed the network from the device without any problems, and then the Internet on your tablet disappeared, then it is quite possible that the above error was the reason for this. Its essence lies in the fact that the tablet computer, as mentioned earlier, accesses the network using a specific password that was set initially. And if this password was set incorrectly, then further attempts to enter the Internet will be unsuccessful and will lead to a message about incorrect identification. Such an error can occur if you changed the password for the router, which is an access point, but forgot to do it on the tablet itself. In this case, you need to go to the settings menu, find the Wi-Fi item, find the network you need and select the "forget" option. After that, the selected connection will disappear from the list, and after a while it will reappear. You will be able to reconnect to the internet, this time with a new password that is correct. After that, the tablet will again connect to the Internet without any problems.
