The best way is to connect the tablet to your wireless home network if you have one , if you just have the modem connected to the computer and no wireless router then to connect to the computer it has to have a wireless adaptor or you will have to connect to the computer by usb cable and that would defeat the purpose of having the tablet.
So if you coul;d post back and tell us what you have for your internet setup it would be helpful.

Assuming you do not have a wireless network set up at home then you will need to buy two thing in order to be able to connect to the internet:


Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter - $17
http/www.amazon.com/Plugable-Ethernet-Network-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B00484IEJS/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1360787103&sr=1-5&keywords=mini+usb+to+rj45+cable

USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG On-The-Go Cable Adapter - $2
http/www.amazon.com/Female-Micro-Male-Cable-Adapter/dp/B005GI2VMG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1360791656&sr=1-1&keywords=USB+2.0+Female+to+Micro+USB+Male

1. Plug the ethernet cable to the Network Adapter.
2. Plug the USB OTG cable to the Network Adapter.
3. Plug the USB OTG cable to the tablet.

The OTG (On The Go) cable also allows a tablet to access files on a flash drive.

Slightly more expensive at $22 is a D-Link Wireless N router.

Less hassle than connecting wires to your tablet. All you need to do is connect this router to the modem. If the modem only has one RJ-45 port, then connect the PC to one of RJ-45 ports to maintain the PC's wired connection. You should read though the manual.

1. Load up the software to help you configure the wireless router.
2. Create a password so that only people who knows the password can connect to it.
3. Choose WPA2 security protocol; the most secure wireless security protocol.

For more advanced and secured wireless network refer to the manual about creating an access list. All wireless devices have a MAC address (Media Access Card) and it is unique to each device. Add the MAC address of your tablet to the access list. Devices can only use your wireless network if it has the correct password and it's MAC address is in the access list.

Assuming you have an Android tablet, you can get the WiFi MAC address by following the below generic instructions. The actual step my differ depending on which Android tablet you have.

a. Press the Settings icon.
b. Scroll all the way down until you see "System" and "About tablet".
c. Press "About tablet"
d. Press "Status"

Look for "Wi-Fi MAC Address".

If you have a smartphone, then it is a good idea to access the web through the wireless network rather than needlessly burning through your 3G/4G data plan.
