Web and Data
The following topics address your tablet’s data connections and the built-in Web browser. Additional data- related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and Entertainment, and Tools and Calendar.
Your tablet’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network through a variety of connections.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access. To use your tablet’s Wi-Fi features, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
