I purchased a Lenovo Tab3 8" Tablet I've never dealt with WiFi before and know nothing about it. No Manual sent with tablet, no instructions. Label on back of tablet shows SSID/MAC Id.number and password.

How do I set this thing up to connect to the Internet through the tablets built in WiFi ? I've tried everything I can think of but keep getting message no connection. I think it's my lack of knowledge. Emailing Lenovo has not worked, no reply!

I'm not familiar with your tablet but as far as Android goes I would try swiping down with my finger from the status bar. A menu should be displayed where there is a wifi icon or it should be available by selecting the settings icon.

You should see a list of available networks and hopefully yours is displayed. Select it and enter the password, the tablet should then after a few seconds indicate it is connected.

Hi,
I could not find anything for a Lenovo Tab8 8" Tablet but did find a example of how to setup WiFi;
Video does show how to connect this tablet, maybe you can follow the instructions for your tablet.

Maybe your information for the tablet is a typo.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Almost any "Android wifi" web search would assist you.

Thank you onebuck and the others, first off it was a typo error, it's a Lenovo Tab3 8" not a Tab8. You and others gave some good information and links which I bookmarked. I should be able to get it connected now. I will come back and give you a report when things are working.

Hi,

Glad too help.

Have fun & enjoy!
