Your tablet’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through Wi-Fi and Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access. To use your tablet’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a
wireless access point or "hotspot."
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depend on several factors, including infrastructure
and objects through which the signal passes.
IMPORTANT: This tablet does not support the UNII-3 Wi-Fi channels in the 5 GHz band. The
tablet will lose the Wi-Fi connection if the Access point/Router tries to direct it to
those channels. To prevent this problem, disable “ Auto channel selection ” in
the settings of your Access point/Router and change the settings so that the
UNII-3 channels are not used. For more information about the Access
point/Router settings, see the Access point/Router documentation or contact the
device manufacturer.
