Connecting To The Internet - Apex Digital AP-7S118 Instruction Manual

The AP-7S118 utilizes Wi-Fi networks to connect to the internet. Wi-Fi technology can provide
wireless internet access at distances over 300 feet, however, this distance can be affected by
your surrounding environment and a Wi-Fi router.
In order to connect to the internet, you will need the following:
• A wireless router - must support Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connections. If the router supports 802.11n,
make sure that it has been configured to accept 802.00b/g connections as well. Note: A
minimum connection speed of 64 Kbps is recommended. Faster speeds will provide for a
better internet experience.
• An access point with a broadband internet connection
• The name of your network (SSID), as well as the password or other credentials if your
network is secure. Make sure your Firewalls are not blocking your tablet to connecting
properly.You may encounter open Wi-Fi networks or "hot spots." These networks are usually
configured so that you can simply connect to them without needing to know its settings.
The tablet will obtain all needed information from the router automatically. Typically, you
only need to set this one time and the tablet will remember it in the future.
To connect the Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
• Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi.
• Change the Wi-Fi setting from OFF to ON by sliding the switch to the right. The tablet will
scan for available Wi-Fi networks within range of your current location. Secured networks
will have a Lock icon shown next to the wireless symbol.
• Touch the name of the network and then enter a password if required. Once you have
successfully entered the wireless network information and have connected, the tablet
will remember your settings in the future when you wish to connect again. There is also
an option to Forget login information which you may want to do if you don't want to
automatically be connected to a network or if a particular wireless network is no longer in
operation.
NOTE: When Wi-Fi is not in use, it is always a good idea to turn Wi-Fi off in order to
conserve remaining battery power.
