2.1 Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide wireless Internet access over
distances of up to 300 feet (100 meters). The capability of your Wi-Fi connections depends
on the Wi-Fi router and the surroundings it works. To use Wi-Fi on your Tablet, you need to

points, and you have to configure your Tablet to connect to the access points that are hidden
or with security protections such as authentication and encryption.
