Why doesn't the tablet connect to wifi. Entering the wrong password. How to connect a Wi-Fi tablet to a wireless network

A lot of users, when trying to connect their Android smartphone or tablet to a Wi-Fi network, encounter many different problems and errors. In this article, we will try to deal with the problem that appears after connecting the Android device to Wi-Fi. When Wi-Fi does not work on a smartphone or tablet. More precisely, the Internet does not work when connected via a wireless network. A very popular problem.

We connected our smartphone to the home Wi-Fi network, or at work, there is a connection, but the Internet does not work. Websites do not open in the browser, Google Play Store does not work, other applications that require Internet access also refuse to work. True, there are exceptions when, for example, sites open in the browser, but the Play Store does not work, and the YouTube video does not play. Typically, the Wi-Fi icon in such cases is gray and not blue, as it should be. We will also talk about this.

When many people write that Wi-Fi doesn’t work on their smartphone, what they mean is that Android connects to Wi-Fi, but doesn’t load anything. If your mobile device does not see any Wi-Fi networks, or some errors appear when connecting, then this is a completely different topic; we will definitely talk about these problems in other articles. Or, check your router if it is . Now we will look at exactly the case when an Android smartphone connects to Wi-Fi without problems, but problems arise with Internet access.

In fact, there are many reasons and solutions. The whole difficulty is that the problem can appear either due to some problems in the settings of the tablet or smartphone itself, or because of the settings of the router. We will first check whether the settings on the mobile device itself are correct, and if this does not help, then we will change the settings of the router.

Android: Internet does not work via Wi-Fi. Solving a problem on a smartphone

If you have a tablet, then these tips will also apply.

1 First of all, you can try turning off/on Wi-Fi on the device. Enable/disable airplane mode. Reboot your smartphone. Sometimes it helps.

2 Checking proxy server settings. If a proxy server is enabled on your smartphone in the properties of your wireless network, then the internet will not work. You need to check, and if enabled, then disable manual proxy server configuration. Go to settings, where a list of Wi-Fi networks is displayed, and the network to which you are connected. Usually, you need to click on the desired network and hold it. A menu will appear in which you need to select something like Change network. Next, you will most likely need to check the box next to Additionally. The proxy server setting will appear. It should be disabled. See screenshots, yours may be slightly different.

If it is set to “manual”, then the Internet on the phone will not work.

3 Check the date, time, and time zone settings. These are the parameters due to which the Play Market most often does not work on Android, gray Wi-Fi icon, and the Internet does not work in other programs.

Your phone or tablet should always have the correct date and time settings. It is also recommended to use the 24-hour time format if you have it disabled. Be sure to check these settings on your device. You can set it to automatic.

After proper setup, the Play Store starts working. This has been verified.

4 There is such an application - “Freedom”. If you have it installed, then in the application itself you need to click Stop. And if you deleted it, then install it back, go to the application, click Stop and then you can delete it. I haven’t encountered this myself and haven’t tested it. But many people write that it helps. The Internet starts working.

5 Setting up automatic IP acquisition. When there are problems with IP, Android usually does not connect to Wi-Fi at all. But it doesn't hurt to check.

Open the Wi-Fi settings on your device and go to the properties of your network (as I showed above). By checking the box next to Advanced (you may not need to do this), you will see the item IPv4 settings, Or something like that. It should be set to automatically obtain IP - DHCP.

6 I saw reviews that help a lot of people setting static DNS addresses. This method helps in cases where you have a gray Wi-Fi icon on your smartphone or tablet instead of a blue one, and the Market does not work. Also, not all sites may open.

Go to the properties of the desired Wi-Fi network, as I showed above. Check the Advanced box (if it is needed) and find the item IPv4 settings (yours may be slightly different). You need to select an item Manually, and find the fields DNS1, And DNS2. Enter the following addresses in them:

You can also change the DNS in the router settings, if it makes it easier for you.

7 You can do more Full reset of your Android device. If you are not too lazy to configure it again, install applications, etc. But, if nothing helps, then you need to reset it, this can solve the problem with the Internet.

8 Update. In the comments, they shared unusual tips that helped get rid of the Wi-Fi problem on Android. The solution is really very strange, but you can try.

You need to select in the phone settings as the main memory phone's built-in memory, not an SD card. I can’t specifically tell you where this can be done on your smartphone. Maybe you don't have such a function at all. But look somewhere in the settings, in the "Memory" section.

Change the router settings if the Internet does not work on your smartphone (tablet)

Let me remind you once again that the Internet from your router should work on other devices. If it doesn’t work at all on any device, then you need to configure the router. Android has nothing to do with it. Basically, the tips that I will write below help in cases where the smartphone does not see the Wi-Fi network at all or does not connect to it. By the way, before setting up, you can simply try rebooting the router.

1 Try changing the channel in your router settings. Very often, it is the channel that causes problems with connecting to Wi-Fi. There is a detailed article on this topic:. You don’t even have to look for a free channel (this takes a long time), but simply install some static one, for example - 6. In the article at the link, I showed how to change the channel on different routers.

2 On the same page where you can change the channel, you can usually change the region. These settings are usually located on the Wi-Fi network settings page. Set your region in settings.

3 Here you can also try changing the wireless network operating mode. These settings are available on any router. You can try different options. For example, put n only.

Here you need to experiment. Don't forget to save the settings and reboot the router.

Ask questions, share your tips and solutions in the comments!

Hello! Yes, I will write again about problems with Wi-Fi :). Someone needs to fight capricious wireless networks, which usually provide more inconvenience during setup than pleasure during use. Very, very many different problems arise, and most of them are difficult to even explain.

Today I will write about one of these problems. And I will give some recommendations that may help you solve it. But I can’t guarantee anything, I hope you understand.

What does the problem look like?

I think that after reading the title of this article, you can already understand what this article is about. I began to notice comments in which people wrote that their devices, be it a laptop, a computer with an adapter, a phone, a tablet, or a game console, did not see their home Wi-Fi network. It is simply not in the list of networks available for connection. At the same time, the device sees neighboring networks. But why? I thought for a long time, but could not come up with a logical explanation for this problem.

By the way, such nonsense can occur even after some work with Wi-Fi, that is, everything was working, you turned off the laptop (for example), and turned it on, but it no longer sees your network.

Here you need to act quickly and save your phone or other equipment from flying into a wall or window :)

Attention! This article is about when a device does not see a wireless network, but only, for example, one network, while other neighboring networks are detected.

The device does not see Wi-Fi [possible solution]

Roman left the following comment on the site:

To be honest, I didn't know what to recommend. But then I thought again and realized that, as a rule, the most incomprehensible problems arise due to the channel on which the wireless network operates, or rather due to interference on the channel.

And I advised you to experiment with channels, as written in the article. Roman changed channel (unfortunately, he didn’t write which one he installed, but it doesn’t matter, you need to experiment) and everything worked for him. The laptop saw the network. A free channel can be determined using the InSSIDer program.

I don’t know if changing the channel really helped, or just rebooting the router 🙂 but the problem was solved. By the way, Reboot the router first if any problems arise. A simple reboot often helps.

There was also a comment where the game console stopped seeing the home wireless network. But I don’t know how it all ended.

You can also try experimenting with the mode of operation of the router, I wrote about this in the article.

Perhaps you have already encountered this problem and somehow solved it differently, or please leave your thoughts on this issue in the comments. And I will update the article and add useful material.

Bye everyone!

The laptop (phone, tablet) does not see the home Wi-Fi network (it sees the neighboring ones) updated: February 7, 2018 by: admin

If Android does not see the WiFi network, the first thing you need to do is understand which side the problem is on: on the device that distributes the wireless network (modem/router), or on your Android phone/tablet.

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 9/8/7/6: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Determining the Source of the Problem

First of all, determine whether Android sees other Wi-Fi networks. Try sharing the network from a laptop, iPhone or other phone, go to a public place with free Wi-Fi.

If there are no problems detecting other points, the problem is clearly in the network, which . If the device does not catch any points, although other phones show their presence, then look for problems in the system and hardware.

Android doesn't see any Wi-Fi networks

If the device does not detect wireless points, although it previously saw them without problems, make sure that there are no errors in the system and that the module is working properly.

Open settings.
In the “Wireless Networks” field, slide the Wi-FI switch to the “On” position.
Start a network search.
Open advanced features and check “Always search for networks.”

In the settings of the latest versions of Android there is an option to reset network settings. Using it, you can fix system failures without resetting other device settings or deleting information from memory.

Increase

If problems with connecting to Wi-Fi occur after updating or flashing the device, then you need to roll back to the latest stable version of Android. Use official or proven custom assemblies for firmware, then the question of what to do with the next system error will arise much less frequently.

The worst thing that can happen to a phone or tablet is hardware failure. If you suspect that the wireless module has failed, contact a service center to diagnose and replace the component.

Troubleshooting

Before you begin serious hardware diagnostics, follow a few simple steps:

Make sure that the network you want to connect to actually exists. To do this, see if other devices detect it.
Go to Android settings. Disable and enable Wi-Fi.
Reboot your phone/tablet.
Reboot your router if you have access to it. Unplug it, wait 10-20 seconds and plug it back in.
Bring the device closer to the router. The signal may be blocked by obstacles or the distance is too great.
Check your saved password again. If you changed the password in the router settings, it could be saved in the connection settings on Android.

That's all you can do on your Android device. If after performing these steps the network does not appear, proceed to checking and configuring the signal source.

Setting up the router

If you have access to a router, check its settings. What can help:

Enable Wi-Fi in settings.
Change the network name (SSID).
Change Wi-Fi channel.
Checking the network operating mode.
Removing restrictions on the number of connected devices.
Configuring the built-in firewall.

Router settings differ, but all have a Wi-Fi section. Look again at how to set up Wi-Fi on a specific router model and make sure you have the correct settings.

In the modern world, mobile technologies are increasingly used. Tablets with a variety of operating platforms are a huge success among users from all over the world. With the help of these devices you can solve various problems and, among other things, they are very convenient and transportable. However, despite the fact that tablets are extremely popular, many of their users, especially beginners, cannot figure out how to properly connect Wi-Fi on a tablet in order to enjoy good and high-speed Internet.

A Wi-Fi network is no surprise these days, and all modern devices have a wireless connection module installed. Wi-Fi can be found everywhere: at home, at work, in recreational areas, at train stations, subways and many other places. The hotspot is very easy to find.

Setting up Wi-Fi on your tablet

To connect your tablet via Wi-Fi to the Internet, you need to perform a list of simple operations:

First you need to turn on Wi-Fi on the device - this can be done if you have a special widget that will be placed on the gadget’s desktop (sometimes you can open widgets by swiping down on the main screen). You can also activate the module in the settings: just click on “On”.
After the wireless connection is activated, a list of available connections will appear on the gadget screen.
Click on the appropriate network.
If it has a password, you must enter it.

If all steps are completed correctly and the password is entered correctly, the device will be connected to Wi-Fi.

Connecting your tablet to your home network

Before using your home Wi-Fi hotspot, you need to activate and configure it through your router:

Enter the following numbers in any Internet browser on your PC: 192.168.1.*. (The IP address of your router is indicated on the router itself or the box)
After this, a window will appear where you need to specify the login and key to open access to the router.
If the password is unknown, then on the Internet you can find out the standard login/password for any router model.

All further operations for setting up the router will depend on what specific device is used to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi.

You need to go to the router settings and find the WLAN section (maybe Wireless Lan).
Here you need to check the Active Wireless LAN box or activate it (set the value to Enable).
Determine what type of security the network will have (WPA2-PSK is best).
In the SSID column you need to enter the name of the wireless access point.
Please indicate the key below and confirm it if necessary.
Save settings.

After the router has been set up, all that remains is to connect to the new wireless network.

Quite often, tablet owners encounter the following difficulty: the tablet does not connect to Wi-Fi - the connection to the network continues indefinitely. You can solve this problem by doing the following:

The Wi-Fi network needs to be renamed (preferably in English letters). As practice shows, some gadgets do not want to connect to wireless networks whose names contain at least one Russian letter.
The problem may be with the router. Restart it.
The DHCP server may need to be enabled. To do this, you need to go back to the router settings (DHCP Setup) and check the box next to Enable.
The gadget may not work with a certain type of Wi-Fi network encryption. To change the type of protection, you need to go to the security settings and try to enter some value. For the new settings to be active, you need to reboot the router.
Another way is to enter the IP address and DNS server manually. To do this, you need to open the connection settings on the device. They are located in a special window that appears when connected to a Wi-Fi network. You should open the user IP parameters and specify your address in the following form: 192.168.1.***. You also need to fill in the “Gateway” and “DNS” fields with data, which you need to obtain from your Internet provider.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network in public places

Wi-Fi has faster and better data transmission compared to the cellular network. Using a wireless network allows you to achieve significant savings (if you do not have an unlimited data plan). Plus, many tablets don't have 3G capabilities, so Wi-Fi connectivity in public places is a necessity. Most networks are secure and will require a password to connect.

How to connect a Wi-Fi tablet to a wireless network

The first step is to open the device configuration and go to the wireless connections section.
You need to make sure that the Wi-Fi function on the tablet is activated. This means that the tablet device will search for available networks in active mode. If such a point is detected, it will be shown here, indicating whether the network is password protected or has open access.
You must touch the name of the network to which you will connect.

In the tablet settings, you can activate a function that will periodically notify the user about the presence of available networks in the current area. To connect to the network, you need to tap this notification. If you need to deactivate the notification function, you can open the tablet device settings, the “Wi-Fi” section, and uncheck the box next to “Notify when new networks are detected.”

If there is accurate information that there should be wireless networks in the current area, but for some reason they are not displayed on the device, then you need to turn off and then reactivate the Wi-Fi function. To connect to a password-protected network, you need to know the access key. Just enter it in the appropriate field and touch the “Done” icon. To disconnect from a network, you need to touch and hold its name, and then select Remove.

Some points may be hidden and not displayed on the device. In this case, even if the notification function about available networks is active, the access point will not be displayed. To connect to such a connection, you need to select the “Add” function in the Wi-Fi settings, and then specify the network name and password.

When you enter your network name and passkey, be aware that they are case sensitive. You must enter this data very carefully, since the slightest mistake will prevent access to the wireless connection. The function of adding and connecting to an invisible network may not work on some gadgets. This is due to the lack of required software, which must be preinstalled by the gadget manufacturer.

How to activate Wi-Fi without a router, even if there are no other wireless networks? In such a situation, you can resort to the help of other mobile devices, for example, a smartphone. You need to make it become an access point and distribute Wi-Fi itself. The required function is present in many devices as a standard parameter. If there is none, then you can install a third-party application, of which there are a lot.

Summarize

In most cases, connecting to Wi-Fi on a tablet does not cause any difficulties. It is enough to use the standard functions of a tablet device. If you still have any difficulties with how to connect Wi-Fi on your tablet, it is recommended that you carefully read the above instructions and tips. A wireless Internet connection is much more convenient and profitable compared to mobile networks. You can comfortably download movies, play online games, listen to music and watch videos online.

Wireless Wi-Fi technology has long gained wide popularity, so almost every smartphone or tablet can connect to such a network. This is very convenient, since you just need to find the desired access point, enter the password and use the Internet. This article will talk about what to do if your Lenovo tablet does not connect to Wi-Fi.

Description of the problem

When you connect your Android device to a Wi-Fi network, you usually see the message “Saved, WPA/WPA2 protected.” In some cases, even with this notification, there is no Internet on the tablet and it is necessary to somehow solve the problem. We'll talk about this below.

Why doesn't Wi-Fi work?

If you don't see web pages opening in your browser after connecting your tablet to an access point, there are a few steps you can take to try to fix the problem. The problem can be either in incorrect settings or in the router itself.

Solutions

Below are the main methods that should help solve the problem. Let's get straight to the point.

If your Lenovo tablet or phone successfully connects to Wi-Fi and a corresponding notification appears on the screen, you can try rebooting the router. Sometimes after this, pages in the browser begin to open, which means everything is working correctly.

Wrong password

Everything is simple here. If, when connecting to an access point, the message “Incorrect password”, etc. appears, then the entered combination is not correct. If the password is entered correctly, then you need to use one of the solutions described below.

An error in Wi-Fi operation often occurs due to an incorrect region in the settings. To change the region, you need to go to the device’s web interface. If you do not know how to open the router settings, then read the instructions (it is usually located in the router's packaging box).

Let's look at the process of changing a region using the example of a router from the manufacturer TP-Link. You need to open the “Wireless Mode” tab and select the desired country in the “Region” item. Don't forget to confirm saving the new settings using the special button.

Wi-Fi network operating mode

The router can operate in a mode that is not supported on Lenovo gadgets. There are 3 modes in total: b/g/n. The main difference is the speed of sending data. B is the slowest mode, g is medium, n is the fastest mode.

Changing the operating mode can solve the problem with Wi-Fi. After changing the settings, you need to restart the router and Wi-Fi on the tablet.

The tablet does not see Wi-Fi

It may well be that the router is turned on and working properly, but the phone or tablet does not see the access point. In this case, you need to check the settings - this is one of the main reasons for Wi-Fi not working correctly. You may need to change the operating mode or router channel.
