Re:
The dns info is provided via DHCP which is given out by the hotspot. You may want to A) try and simply reboot the phone and B) go into your settings > wireless and press and hold on the hotspot SSID (wireless name) and forget it. Then re-connect. Otherwise I would say it's an issue with the hotspot.
O2 apparently contract out all of their hotspots to a third party company. Eventually after a lot of haggling O2 they accepted it wasn't my phone. They contacted the third party company and a few hours later it has kicked in after about two weeks of me trying. I presume my number or mac address was blocked their end. They are meant to be ringing me back but its Saturday evening and may not get a call till Monday to find out what the problem actually was.O2 apparently contract out all of their hotspots to a third party company.

Are you trying to just connect to wifi to access a local network or are you trying to access the internet? If you just want to connect to a local network, maybe to access other devices on the network, you would need a router broadcasting the network that all the devices connect to. If you are only trying to get access to the internet, consider purchasing a hot spot device. It will provide cellular type service and will broadcast a wifi signal that you can connect your tablet or other devices to for internet access. Hot spots will cost you a monthly fee for the service and you will have to purchase the device itself. Another possibility is to use your cell phone as a hot spot and tether the tablet to it. Just remember whatever data you use on your tablet will be charged to your data plan on your cell phone. On my nexus 5x phone, it's fairly easy to turn on (settings, under wireless and networks select more, select tethering and portable hotspot, turn on portable wifi hotspot, set a password if you want to). Once turned on, the phone will broadcast a signal that you can connect other devices to for internet access. Some cellular providers don't allow tethering. If that is the case with yours there are some apps that will still allow you to set up tethering such as AndroidTethering or Easy Tether. In the past, I've had some trouble connecting wirelessly using the apps and found that using USB tether options worked better for me.
I also had the same problems in my laptop, but I had tried many ways, this problems couldn't be fixed. A friend told me maybe I need to reintalled the system. However, I didn't want to do. Finally, I tried to use other wifi software. A program named OSToto Hotspot can run. You can have a try! http://www.drivethelife.com/free-wifi-hotspot-creator.html

wifi should be simple. Go to the wifi screen (depending on the OS you have) normally its in the bottom left hand side of the screen. Click that and ask for it to search for local wifi. Make sure you have a wireless modem or a wifi hotspot near you and if wireless router is Wep encrypted then you will need to get the right config for it.
