For beginners and inexperienced users, the question arises: "How to set up the Internet on a tablet?" - After purchasing it. Indeed, without connecting to the global web, it is impossible to take advantage of all the advantages that this device has. For these purposes, 3G or Wi-Fi is now most often used. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages, which will also be discussed in this article.
3G
First, let's find out how to set up the Internet on a tablet in the networks of mobile operators. Not every similar device is equipped with such a module, and you need to look through the documentation and find out whether it is present in the device or not. If not, then you need to additionally purchase an external 3G modem that is supported by your mobile PC (this information is in the user manual). Then a SIM card is installed in it, and it connects to the tablet using an OTG cable. In the second case, when the device is equipped with a 3G module, it is enough to install it in the appropriate slot. All of the above manipulations must be performedonly in off state. Then we launch it. Further, at the end of the download, automatic settings from the operator should come. We accept and save them. If this does not happen, then you need to manually configure the Internet on the tablet. MTS, for example, in the section "Applications / Settings / Wireless networks" requires the creation of a new APN and the following settings:
- Connection name: "MTS-Internet".
- Login and password MTS.
- APN should be: "internet.mts.ru".
Save changes and reload. We allow Internet connection in the top drop-down menu by clicking on the corresponding button. We activate the data transfer service by calling 0890 (suitable for MTS subscribers, for other operators you need to clarify this information). After that, you can check the performance of this service by launching a browser and going to the address "mail.ru", for example. If everything is done correctly, then this mail portal will open for you. Otherwise, call 0890 and find out the problem. An important nuance: your account balance must be positive.
Wi-Fi
And now let's figure out how to set up the Internet on a tablet based on Wi-Fi technology. To get started, enable this adapter in the top drop-down menu by clicking on the appropriate button. Next, go to "Applications / Wi-Fi". After starting this utility, we search for all available connection points. To do this, click the "Search" button and wait for the scan to finish. Then, from the generated list, selectthe network we are interested in and connect to it. If there is protection, you will need to enter a password. Close all windows and start the browser. We enter the same mail portal "mail.ru" and check the performance. So you can set up the Internet on a Samsung tablet or any other manufacturer. It is important that it works under Android OS.
Conclusion
As part of this material, the most common options for how to set up the Internet on a tablet were considered. The first one is 3G. It allows you to access the global web almost anywhere in the world. But at the same time, its speed is low. Another disadvantage of this solution is the high tariffs of operators. The second way is Wi-Fi. Its speed, depending on the type of router used, can reach 300 Mbps. The second plus is the ability to connect an unlimited tariff from a provider. But the main disadvantage of such a solution is a small radius of action, which is limited to several tens of meters, at best. Therefore, 3G is well suited for frequent business trips, and Wi-Fi is the only option for home use.
