12. Define internet connections
Does your network service provider charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on
a pay-as-you-use basis? Change the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your
data costs while roaming and at home. Important: Use encryption to increase the
security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of others
accessing your data.
Using a Wi-Fi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a
mobile data connection. If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your
Tablet uses the Wi-Fi connection.
