I'm Trying To Connect A Tablet To The Wifi.

[sandyRoe]

I've used both the wi-fi password and the router password but neither are accepted.
Could it be that the lady who originally installed the internet used her own password then?

Probably, I always change My Router password and Wi Fi password. Unless they kept a note of it you may be stuck :(

Have you got anothere device that "will" connect to the router using either password? Say a mobile phone. If you have does that connect. If not it is possible that you need to reset the router. I would start by swithcing the router off and then re-booting it. If the tablet has awap facility and the router has a wap set button try launching them both within 20 seconds of each other to see if it will hook up.

Another one to try is clear all the wifi data(saved wifi sites) on the tablet, reboot the router/modem. When the router is showing that it is working reboot the tablet and try to input again. Rmember if you do this and then take the tablet to somewhere that it was hooked up to a router(home say) you will need to repeat the wifi input from the original router.

Turning the router off for a few minutes seems to have done the trick.
Thanks everybody.

Well done Sandy. Are you on one of your "visits" pilgrim? (^_*)

I'm house/cat sitting in an isolated area of Galicia in northern Spain.
A new kitten has joined the household and she appears to be of an age when she wants out to find a boyfriend.
So now I'd need to be careful with windows and doors. I'd need eyes in the back of my head.
It's been surprisingly dry over the last few weeks so I can get out for lots of local walks.

Jealous already Sandy. Hope it is warmer for you there than it is here. You are a star Sandy. No fuss, no attention seeking flag post to say you are off to Spain, ... just go. Nice one.

How old is your new friend, Sandy? I hope that there is a trip to the Vet in her future. She will be screaming for a boyfriend, and then you will be over-run by the boy cats.
Enjoy your break. x

Wolf63,
I think she's about 4 months old. I think that's teenage in cat terms. She'll be visiting the vet in a couple of months when her owner returns.
There's 4 cats already in the house and a stray tom who gets fed but isn't allowed into the house.
Nice as cats are, 5 are more than enough.
