How to connect the tablet to the Internet?

A tablet without the Internet can perform very limited functions. And the question of its connection to the network is always acute. How to do it quickly and without much expense we'll talk in our article.

Methods for connecting the tablet to the Internet

You can connect in several ways: using a wi-fi router, an integrated 3G modem and a SIM card, an external 3G modem or a usb cable. Let's talk about each of them in more detail:

1. Connecting via a wi-fi router is the easiest way. To use it, you first need to make sure that the mode "On the Airplane" is disabled in the tablet. Next, open the tablet settings and turn on the module, go to the settings section and select the wi-fi-network of your router from the list of available connections. Will only enter your login and password, and welcome to the Internet.
2. Many people wonder how to connect the Internet on the tablet via SIM , because there is not always access to the wi-fi network. To make your tablet completely mobile, you can use the built-in 3G-modem.
   1. You just need to get a SIM card and insert it into a special compartment on the tablet (on one of the side faces).
   2. When the SIM is inside the tablet, enable the function "Mobile Data" ("Data Transfer"). This is done the same way as on a smartphone.
   3. In most cases this is enough to make the Internet work. But if you have connectivity problems, you probably need to edit the APN access point settings.
   4. Open the settings and go to the "More" section of the "Mobile network" sub-section.
   5. In the pop-up window, select the "Access point (APN)". It remains to press the button with 3 points and select the item "New access point".
3. How to connect the Internet in the tablet via a modem :
   1. If your tablet does not have a built-in 3G modem, you need to buy it. The usual modem, which we use to connect laptops and desktop computers, is suitable. A tablet with such a modem connected to the network is a bit more complicated.
   2. First of all, transfer the 3G-modem to the "Only modem" mode. To do this, you need to install the 3GSW program on your PC, connect the modem to the PC and open the program, activate the "Only modem" mode.
   3. Only after that we connect the 3G modem to the tablet using a USB-OTG cable and install the PPP Widget application on the tablet. It is necessary to further configure the connection to the mobile network, because without a built-in modem the tablet is not equipped with the necessary software. In the open program, you need to enter information about the access point, login and password. You can find out all this information from your mobile operator.

Can I connect the cable Internet to the tablet?

In this there is nothing impossible. How can I connect the wired Internet to the tablet? This method is used quite rarely, because the tablet is, nevertheless, a mobile device, and its cable binding reduces portability. But sometimes there is such a need.

What you need to connect the tablet to the Internet: you need to purchase a USB-based network card based on the RD9700 chip, which is inherently an adapter between USB and RJ-45. If the tablet does not even have a USB connector, then another adapter is needed - OTG. As for drivers and other software, most tablet models already have everything you need, so you probably will not need to download and install anything.

Insert the card into the tablet and connect to the network switch. If after this nothing happens, Continue to follow the instructions on how to connect the tablet to the Internet.

If you use the free program "Net Status", then in the Netcfg tab you will see a line with the specified interface eth0. This is our network card, only it does not have network settings. This is due to the fact that in your device the network connection is designed for the use of DHCP technology, and nothing will change independently.

In this case, you need to start the DHCP server on the PC and fix all problems. Then the equipment should start functioning without failures.
