1 Open the Settings app.
See “Opening Settings” on page 268.
2 Touch Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings.
3 Check Wi-Fi to turn it on.
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 connects to it.
4 Touch a network to connect to it.
If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to connect to
that network by touching Connect.
If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other
credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)
By default, you obtain an address on the network from the network itself, using
the DHCP protocol.
You can touch DHCP to change the IP settings to Static, so you can enter an
address and other network details manually, if you or your network
administrator require it. If you do, you must enter:
G An IP address for your tablet that is valid and unique for your Wi-Fi network
G The Gateway for the network
G The network prefix length (a number between 0 and 32, such as 24 for a
Class C network, 16 for a Class B network, or 8 for a Class A network)
G At least one DNS server for the network
When you’re connected to a network, you can touch its name in the Wi-Fi
settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related
settings.
