Connecting to the Internet
This pad can utilise Wi-Fi data networks to connect to the Internet.
 Wireless Wi-Fi technology can provide Internet access at distances of over 300 feet; however, this distance can be
affected by your surrounding environment and Wi-Fi router.
Requirements
In order to connect to the Internet, you will need either of the following:
A wireless router or access point with a broadband Internet connection
The wireless router must support Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connections. If the router supports 802.11n, make sure that it has been
configured to accept 802.11b/g connections as well.
A minimum connection speed of 64 Kbps is recommended. Faster speeds will enable a better Internet experience.
You will need to know the name of your network (SSID), as well as the password or other credentials if your network is
secured. These settings can usually be found on the administration webpage of your wireless router.
Please refer to your wireless router’s documentation for help, or ask your network administrator for details.
You may encounter open Wi-Fi networks, or “hot spots.” These networks are usually configured so that you can
simply connect to them without needing to know its settings; the pad will obtain all the information it needs from the
router automatically.
