Firstly Check if your WIFI router is working by accessing the WIFI connection from another computer, tablet or phone.
If it does, then use the same WiFi connection settings that it has on your ARCHOS.
You could also try connecting your ARCHOS to a friend's WiFi network and if this works, change your access point parameters to similar ones.
OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING OPTIONS:
1. Check your WiFi router/modem documentation to see if it has a pairing button that needs to be pressed. Some modems have such a button that must be pressed the very first time you try to make a WiFi connection with a new device.
2. If you have to enter a password (a security code of type WEP or WPA) be very careful that you do not confuse a 1 and I (one and letter "I"), a 0 and O (zero and letter "O"), or U and V. These are common mistakes.
3. When entering a security code for your WiFi access, check the box "Show Password" which will allow you to see exactly what you are typing in. This will avoid any mistakes.
4. Some access points use what is known as MAC filtering. That means, the WiFi access point has a list of access numbers (every hardware device has a unique MAC number) which are the only ones allowed to access to the WiFi point. The person managing the WiFi modem/router should shut off this MAC filtering system to see if this solves the problem. It is recommended to shut off MAC filtering in general as this is now known to be an outdated and ineffective system for WiFi security. If you must use it, you can find your device's specific MAC address by going to Settings >Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced. It will look something like 00:16:dc:5e:9e:39.
5. Try temporarily shutting off the encryption system of your WiFi router/modem to see if the problem has to do with the encryption system you are using. The preferred encryption system is the WPA2.
LOL, you're up the creek. Never buy a computer that does not have a CD Drive on it because that is what you need now. May the AC Adapter Power Cord is bad. Some of them have a indicator light on them when you plug them in the wall. Does yours have a light on it and does it light up? When you plug the power cord in the tablet do you see any lights?
Hi there. I noticed that sometimes Android devices seem to have trouble connecting to certain access points or.they seem to stop connecting alltoghether to certain routers. Sometimes this method can help:
Select the network you are trying to connect to and select "forget this network".
Reboot the tablet and try to reconnect again. Sometimes this doesn't work on the first try.
If that doesn't work I have heard of other fixes but they require "rooting" the tablet which could be potentiall dangerous.
Another thing you can try if that doesn't work is change the security to a different encryption type. Your password will either be WEP or WPA. Whatever it is try to change it to the other. I cannot give you detailed instructions on this because I don't know your router model or its current settings. Hopefully this helps and leave a comment if you have further questions. Good luck!
Unfortunately with Android products, bluetooth pairing either works or it doesn't. If your particular product isn't pairing correctly, it may get fixed in the future with an Archos firmware update, but at present you'll want to try a different brand of keyboard.
This
is normal. To save energy, the ARCHOS always starts up with the WiFi
set to off. You must manually use the Fn-F3 keys if you want to
activate the WiFi connection.
I cannot connect to the Internet over WiFi, what's wrong?
Make sure that your WiFi is activated. This can be turned on and
off with the blue function key pressed down and then the F3 key. The
blue WiFi indicator just below the touch-pad will light indicating that
it has been turned on.
My WiFi router/modem is on and working, but it does not show up in the list of wireless networks. What's wrong?
It could be that the WiFi modem/router is hiding its SSID. This is
done for security purposes sometimes. You can either change this on the
WiFi modem/router (see its instructions) so that it broadcasts its SSID
(and then you'll see it in the list on your ARCHOS 10) or you can go
into the advanced settings of the Wireless Network Connection screen to
the Wireless Networks tab and 'add' a new connection. You will need to
know the SSID name and its other connection parameters.
You can use either Wifi or cell phone "tethering", which means connecting to your cell phone via Bluetooth and using it for connection to the internet. Just go to the Settings / Network settings and choose either Wifi or tethering and wizard will guide you with setting it up.
