Hi All,
Bought an unbranded 7" tablet from Focalprice for the kids to use. For the money I think it's pretty good but I can't get the interweb working..everything else works fine.
It'll scan for Wifi networks and will indicate that it's "Connected" to my network. Pics up other netwoorks too, some of them fairly distant so I think the hardware is OK. My wireless router also recognises the tablet so there is some sort of communication going on bewteen the two.
However, open the browser (Called "Browser") and it shows "webpage unavailable". I have tried lots of URLs.
I know the router is working as various laptops connect fine so I suspect there is some sort of configuration issue going on. I have tried WEP, WPA and no encryption with the same result: a connection is shown in the settings window but the browser won't function.
Anyone any ideas? Are there any other settings I should try tweaking, either on the router or the tablet?
Other info:
It's an unbranded unit but the manual describes it as a "Mid Tablet"
In settings it says "Model: Full AOSP on RK29 sdk", "Rockchip IMM76D".
The version of Android is 4.0.4.
