Why can't I connect to the Internet?

I got a new android tablet and every time I try to connect to the Internet it won't work. I tried to to connect it to my Internet at home. I put in the correct IP address but it loads for around five minutes and says unsuccessful. I tried to connect it to my personal hot spot on my iPhone but it says it's not in range even though my phone is right beside it. Does anyone know anything I can do about it?

Have you put the router password in, my mate had to try about 10 times to log on to my internet connection, and eventually it connected

Why are you typing in your IP address. Go to settings then to Wi-Fi, click on the name of your router and then type in your wireless password:

  • Why can't my desktop connect to our Wi-Fi at home but does connect to moble hotspot? Suddenly my desktop won't connect to our Wi-Fi. All other devices such as laptops, phones and tablets connects just fine. I tried connecting it to my iphone's hotspot and it works. I tried to unistall and reinstall the wireless adapter but still won't work. I also tried to reboot the router and even tried to change the channel but still failed to make it work. Do you have any other way to make it work? I have windows 7 on my desktop.
