Connect to a Wireless Network

If you have a wireless access point and your tablet has built-in wireless networking capabilities, you can connect to the wireless access point to access your network. If your wireless access point is connected to the Internet, then connecting to the wireless network gives your tablet Internet access, as well.

Most wireless networks are protected with a security key, which is a kind of password. Make sure that you know the key before attempting to connect. However, after you have connected to the network once, Windows 8 remembers the password and connects again automatically whenever the network comes within range.
