Hi
To connect to a WiFi system, you may need 3 pieces of information:
A username
A password
An encryption key
Once you have successfully linked to a WiFi access point then your tablet will remember the settings until told to forget them. To do this, tap on the connection in >Settings >Wireless and networks and ou will be given 3 options, Connect, Forget, Cancel. You need "Forget".
A lot of the time you may only need the encryption key, and if the tablet detects a WiFi access point then if you tap on that in wireless settings then it will either connect automatically or ask you for some sort of code - the encryption key. If this is not entered correctly then it will return an authentication problem/error. In order to connect you have to have this code.
It is worth remembering that your tablet will always notify you (via Wireless and Network settings) of all wireless networks that are within ita range.
Cheers

Why will my nextbook 8 not connect with my home wifi

  • Can you see your router from the tablet? If not, check to make sure that WIFI is enabled in the Android settings.
  • Does your WIFI have a password? If so, you need to enter the password in the Android WIFI settings entry for your router.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 and it was connected to WiFi for the last 8 months and was working fine. Now it's not connected and when I try to turn WiFi on it says connecting to WiFi but doesn't connect and...

you can try to restore default settings in the system options and see if that works, try to back up any work or games you have installed onto the pad as a system restore will delete them. best regards

Ipad wifi does not connect to my system

Try going to your Ipad's wifi settings and set the DNS to the same thing as the Router (since you have a linksys, it should be 192.168.1.1).

Just delete everything else in the DNS box.
