How to Connect an Android Tablet to WiFi

Android tablets, unlike Android phones, don't require mobile phone service or a contract with a mobile phone company, and several models use Wi-Fi for network connectivity. The Android 4.2 operating system, known as Jellybean has the same features for Wi-Fi connections that are available with earlier versions of Android. Android tablets support wireless connections encrypted by both WEP and the more-secure WPA.

Instructions to Connect an Android Tablet to WiFi

1: Tap the "Apps" menu on the tablet screen. Touch "Settings."

2: Touch "Wireless and Networks" and select "Wi-Fi Settings."

3: Tap the "Wi-Fi" box to turn on Wi-Fi. The Android tablet scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays them on-screen under "Wi-Fi Networks."

4: Tap an available Wi-Fi network. Touch "Connect" if it is unsecured, or enter the password or passcode for the encrypted connection. Tap "Connect."
