the "verizon wifi" at airports and coffee houses needs a Laptop. There is special software that is downloaded that lets you connect to the Verizon Wifi and it's not compatible with Droid OS's etc.

Check your Laptop

When you register for Verizon Wi-Fi, we'll help you check to see if your laptop meets our system requirements.
Verizon Wi-Fi is not available for PDAs, phones, desktop PCs or Macs.
Most late-model laptops have wireless capability, but if yours doesn't, you'll need to buy a wireless card.

So the only way you can connect when out and about is through the wifi available at whatever place you go.

Well I looked up "superpad" and found one listed on Amazon.com. If yours is that one, it says it has WIFI built in. Assuming you have the same one. Then all you have to do is go into the wifi settings and put in your routers SSID and WEP/WPA key just like you did with the laptop.

Try WiFi Buddy on that device to get connected

As far as Verizon info you need to connect, you need your settings. so follow the two links.

www.verizon.com/repair > Retrieve your Wi-Fi Settings

There's a service tag on your router that has your wireless info that you need.

you need both the

ESSID

and the

WEP key

Click the link above and it will help you get those settings.

Well if using WIFI, the same process applies anywhere you go. If you are at McDonalds for example. You go into the wifi settings of the pad, find the McD's wifi and tell it to connect.

Now if you are wanting to use it on the go, then you need 'mobile broadband'. A data plan via your cell company and 3G/4G access. I dont know if yours has the SIM card access or not.

But if you are just "hot spotting", then the process is basically the same as you use at home whenever in range of another accessible router.

Hi,

What is the message (error Messages) displayed in your tablet, use the same network name and the same password

that you are using for your others devices, check in the label's router the SSID(network name to connect to your router) and WEP

(which is the password for the wireless connection) in case you are using.

Good Luck!

Let me know what happened
