How do you connect to a WIFI that has a security code?

Ok I have included th elink to the less than stellar user manual. What you need to do is...

bring up all apps
tap on settings
ensure wifi is on (it is a little slide switch)
go to wifi
select an AP
enter password or security code as required.
You should now be connected

Your best option may be to go ahead and tell the device to forget, then set up the WiFi connection again.

Good luck.

This may fix your problem... Clear the cache that is stored in the settings.go to general settings ...look for safari ....empty browser history and cache.

then scan for any networks on the wifi settings....when you get to your router....don't enter password or try to connect to it....click right chevron to get to page that says forget network ....then rescan .....this time enter your password....it should connect.....Apple products are not happy if you change or update passwords on routers already configured.

I've known some tablets not connect to the standard 2.4G wifi but are quite happy on the newer 5G wifi. don't know why.
I've also known some tablets only connect to WEP security or none.
see if you can change the security settings in your router.

First of all, you must have the password which is set for your home WIFI. You can't do anything without it. Assuming you got the password, Go to tablet's Settings, turn on WIFI. When your WIFI router is displayed in the list, select it and you will be prompted for the password. Enter the password and click Connect. When you see Connected, it's done.

Depends upon which version of the Android system you have, but generally it goes like this;
Open the SETTINGS menu. If you don't have a settings icon on your home page, you will find it by opening the "APPS" page on your device.
Once in settings, the wireless networks available will be seen in a list on the right hand pane

Tap the name of the network you are attempting to connect to

If it is password protected, a window will open up with the option to type in the password required. The keyboad will automatically run at the same time.

Type in the password, being careful to use the correct case and not adding any spaces or other characters if they are not part of the password. Once the password has been entered, tap the "connect" button. You should ow be connecting to the network, which may take up to a minute or so depending upon how your WiFi router has been set up.

If it still will not connect, the it's almost certainly because the WiFi router has advanced security settings enabled to prevent devices connecting that are not known to the system and you will need to seek assistance from whoever set up the router to enable you to connect to it {:o)

Firstly Check if your WIFI router is working by accessing the WIFI connection from another computer, tablet or phone.

If it does, then use the same WiFi connection settings that it has on your ARCHOS.

You could also try connecting your ARCHOS to a friend's WiFi network and if this works, change your access point parameters to similar ones.

OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING OPTIONS:
1. Check your WiFi 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 WiFi 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 WiFi 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 WiFi 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 WiFi point. The person managing the WiFi 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 WiFi 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.

5. Try temporarily shutting off the encryption system of your WiFi router/modem to see if the problem has to do with the encryption system you are using. The preferred encryption system is the WPA2.

I dont know about 20.1 however if is 10.1 go to settings>wireless& networks>wifi>turn wifi on>wifi settings and sure you should find the open wifi with strong signal.If you dont have the security code or access code to the available wifi then there is no way.

To connect to secure wifi you need the password for the wifi router you are trying to connect to. You cannot just connect to a secure network unless you have that password - the owner of the router will have the password.
