Tablets Digma (series Planet, Linx, Optima and others) are popular due to the price-to-functionality ratio, but the setup Wi-Fi Sometimes users have questions, especially when connecting for the first time, changing networks, or after a factory reset. In this article, we'll cover all the ways to connect to a wireless network—from basic setup to troubleshooting common issues such as when your tablet doesn't see the network or constantly asks for a password.
It is important to note that the interface may differ slightly depending on the version. Android (on Digma Usually there is a "clean" Android or a shell Digma UI) and tablet model. However, the general procedure remains the same. If your tablet was released before 2020, some menu items may have different names—we'll warn you about this separately.
Before you begin, make sure that:
- 📶 The router is turned on and distributing Wi-Fi (the network indicator is on or flashing).
- 🔒 You know the exact password for the network (case-sensitive!).
- 🔄 The tablet is charged at least 20% - if the battery is low, malfunctions may occur.
1. Basic Wi-Fi setup on the Digma tablet
The easiest way to connect is through the standard settings menu. This method works on all models. Digma, regardless of Android version.
Open tablet settings (gear icon in the app menu or notification shade). Next, go to the section Network and Internet → Wi-FiIf there is no such item, just search Wi-Fi in the main settings menu. On tablets Digma Planet Pad older than 2019 the path may look like this Wireless networks → Wi-Fi.
Turn on the slider Wi-Fi to the "On" position — the tablet will start scanning for available networks. Find your network name (SSID) in the list and tap it. If the network is not listed, tap Refresh (circle arrow icon) or check if the network is hidden (we will discuss this below).
After selecting the network, a password entry field will appear. Enter it and click ConnectIf the password is correct, the following message will appear next to the network name: Connected, and in the status bar there is a Wi-Fi icon.
The network is enabled on the router|The password is entered correctly (case sensitive!)|The tablet is not in Airplane mode|The distance to the router is no more than 10 meters-->
2. Connecting to a hidden Wi-Fi network
Some routers are configured not to broadcast the network name (SSID) over the air. In this case, the tablet Digma It won't show it in the list of available ones, but you can still connect.
To do this, go to the menu Wi-Fi click Add a network (or Other networks (on older models). In the window that appears, enter:
- 📡 Network name (SSID) — the exact name of the hidden network (case-sensitive!).
- 🔐 Security type - usually
WPA2-PSK(check in your router settings). - 🔑 Password — network security key.
After saving, the tablet will attempt to connect. If the information is correct, the connection will be established automatically. On Digma Linx 10" tablets manufactured in 2021–2022, an "IP conflict" error may appear when connecting to a hidden network. If this occurs, reboot the router and try again.
⚠️ Note: Hidden networks don't provide additional security, but they can make it more difficult for new devices to connect. If you frequently connect guests, it's best to make the network visible.
3. Troubleshooting: Tablet won't connect to Wi-Fi
If Digma sees the network but doesn't connect - check the following:
| Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The tablet asks for a password again and again. | Incorrect password or saving failure | Remove the network from saved (Forget the network) and enter the password again |
| The connection is stuck at the "Obtaining IP" stage. | IP conflict or DHCP failure on the router | Reboot your router or assign a static IP manually |
| The network is listed, but the grey "no connection" icon appears. | Weak signal or incompatible router settings | Move closer to the router or change the Wi-Fi channel in its settings. |
| The tablet does not see any networks. | The Wi-Fi module is disabled or faulty. | Check your settings Airplane mode and reboot the tablet |
If the problem persists, try reset network settings on your tablet. To do this, go to Settings → System → Reset → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile network, and Bluetooth settings. Attention: This will delete all saved passwords!
What to do if resetting doesn't help?
If your tablet still won't connect after resetting the network, the problem may be firmware or hardware. Try the following:
1. Update Android to the latest version (Settings → System → System Update).
2. Test the tablet on another router (for example, from a phone in access point mode).
3. Contact the service center if the warranty is still valid (for models less than 2 years old).
4. Setting up a static IP address (if DHCP does not work)
Sometimes the router doesn't assign an IP address to the tablet automatically (DHCP error). In this case, you can assign a static IP manually.
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi, tap and hold your network name for 2-3 seconds. In the menu that appears, select Change network (or Additionally). Check the box. Show advanced options and in the section IP settings select Static.
Fill in the fields as follows (example for most home networks):
- 🌐 IP address:
192.168.1.100(the last digit can be from 2 to 254, but should not be the same as other devices). - 🔄 Gateway:
192.168.1.1(usually matches the router IP). - 📜 Network prefix length:
24. - 📡 DNS 1 and DNS 2:
8.8.8.8And8.8.4.4(Google DNS) or1.1.1.1(Cloudflare).
Save the settings and reconnect to the network. If the IP address is occupied, the router will report an error. Try a different value (e.g. 192.168.1.101).
⚠️ Note: A static IP is useful if you are setting up port forwarding (for example, for remote access) or if your router limits the number of connected devices via DHCP.
5. Optimizing the Wi-Fi signal for the Digma tablet
A weak signal is a common cause of connection drops. If your tablet connects but the internet is unstable, try:
- 📶 Change the Wi-Fi channel on the router (in its settings, usually
192.168.1.1). Channels 1, 6 and 11 overlap the least. - 🔄 Switch to the 5 GHz band (if the router is dual-band). Digma Optima and new ones Planet 5 GHz supported.
- 📡 Use a repeater or a Mesh system if the router is far away.
- 🛡️ Disable battery saving for Wi-Fi (
Settings → Battery → Optimization → Wi-Fi).
On tablets Digma There is a function with Android 10+ Adaptive Wi-Fi, which automatically switches between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. To enable it, go to Settings → Wi-Fi → Advanced → Adaptive Wi-Fi.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about Wi-Fi on Digma
My Digma tablet can't detect the Wi-Fi network, even though the router is working. What's wrong?
The reasons may be different:
- The Wi-Fi module is disabled by software (check
Airplane mode). - Firmware failure (try rebooting the tablet).
- Hardware failure (if there were drops, the antenna contact may have come loose).
If rebooting doesn't help, reset your network settings or test your tablet on a different router.
How can I find out the Wi-Fi password if my tablet is already connected but I forgot it?
On tablets Digma With root rights, you can view the password through a file /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml (You need a file manager with root access). Without root, it's easier to access the router settings (usually 192.168.1.1) and look at the password there.
My tablet connects to Wi-Fi, but the internet isn't working. What should I do?
Check:
- Is the Internet configured on the router (perhaps the provider's tariff has not been paid).
- Is the "Limit background traffic" box checked in your Wi-Fi settings?
- Does the internet work on other devices?
If the problem is only on the tablet, reset the network settings or assign DNS manually (for example, 8.8.8.8).
Is it possible to connect a Digma tablet to Wi-Fi without a password?
Technically yes, but only if the router is configured for an open network (no encryption). This is not secure! The alternative is to use WPS (if your router supports it). Press the WPS button on your router, then on your tablet, in the Wi-Fi settings, select Connecting via WPS.
Wi-Fi stopped working after an Android update. How do I fix it?
The new software is likely conflicting with the Wi-Fi module drivers. Try this:
- Roll back the update (if there is a backup).
- Reset to factory settings.
- Install custom firmware (for advanced users only!).
If nothing helps, contact a service center - the Wi-Fi module may need to be re-soldered.
