Internet Has Stopped On My Tablet

[gordiescotland1]

I have a Samsung Tablet and when trying to get access to the internet it tells me "Internet has unfortunately stopped" and it says click ok. But it is not ok it is flipping annoying I dont know what has caused this or how to fix it thanks

try rebooting your router..switch off and back on after 2 mins...

Strange wording - have you tried the ubiquitous turn the modem off and after a few seconds on again - assuming thats where you get your net from.

Hi murraymints i dont know what you mean by that. I have a pc and tablet connected to the same modem. The PC is working fine I thought that this would be a problem with my tablet.

[murraymints]

then reboot your tablet..hold the power switch down till it goes off..don't click on any off ? prompts..just keep switch depressed till it goes off..then restart

I hate those "OK" buttons too. I guess it's the shortest word they could use. I'd prefer a wider button saying "Understood" or just "Close" even. It seems always anything but OK.

Your tablet is likely using a wireless connection whilst your PC is either a cable or different wireless connection. A router reboot is no bad idea. In situations like this I over turn it all off, unplug everything, wait a minute or so, then put it all back together.

[murraymints]

do both router and tablet as above

[ukbod2015]

give this a go - Settings, More, Developer Options, Do not keep activities and uncheck the box

Ive restarted my tablet and restarter my router still same f*** problem. scream

[gordiescotland1]

ukbod none of these options available under settings

[murraymints]

switch off pc...and try tablet alone..check in your settings for internet ..switch airplane mode on and off a few times...

[gordiescotland1]

Thanks murraymints but still the f**** problem remains. !!! I did get this from Brighthouse so maybe that explains it

[murraymints]

look for your router in internet connections...under settings..what does it say beside it ?

[ukbod2015]

To unhide the Developer options menu, touch Apps > Settings > About device
Scroll to and touch Build number seven times.
The menu option will then appear under Settings > Developer options .

On my tablet under connections it has wifi bluetooth flight mode data usage location more networks the wifi network is showing i am connected to talk talk same as pc

[murraymints]

disconnect and reconnect a couple of times

[gordiescotland1]

I keep on doing that and it doesnt get me anywhere it just gets my blood pressure up !!

[murraymints]

if you have tried all of the above then it is likely a hardware problem..return your tablet for replacement ..

I have a problem like this with my laptop from time to time -when I'm using it on my lap I sometimes knock an almost tiny invisible switch on the front edge . it usually takes a bit of searching to find it but when I do I simply slide it back a fraction.
Could it simply be that?

[murraymints]

what function does that switch have FF?
