3.1.1. ADVANCED CONNECTION

To manually scan for available Wi-Fi networks, go to the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap on the Menu

icon, and then tap on Scan.

If the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to does not appear in the list, scroll down the screen,

then tap on Add a Wi-Fi network. Enter the required settings, then tap on Save. To access the

advanced network parameters (Regulatory domain, IP address, etc), tap on the Menu icon, then

tap on Advanced. Other parameters will appear: the required information can be obtained from the

person who manages the network.

3.2. Wi-Fi connection problems

The IMPRESSION internet tablets support the 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi protocols. If you cannot

connect to your access point, first determine if the problem lies with your access point or with the

IMPRESSION. Try using another Wi-Fi device, such as a laptop computer or a Wi-Fi enabled

telephone and see if that will connect to your access point. If it does, then use the same Wi-Fi

connection settings that it has on your IMPRESSION. You could also try connecting your

IMPRESSION to a friend's Wi-Fi network and if this works, change your access point parameters

to similar ones.

3.2.1. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

1. Check your Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi point. The person managing the Wi-Fi 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shut off MAC filtering in general as this is now known to be an outdated and ineffective system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 Wi-Fi 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.
