Hello and welcome to Android Forums, Elaine! :)

A couple of questions first. Does your table see the SSID of the router? If you go to menu>settings>wireless & networks>Wifi Settings and rescan, does your network show up? If it does and you have used some sort of setup wizard (I know Cisco and Netgear home routers work this way) and assigned an access password, that may also be your wifi security passkey.
 
hi thanks for your reply

If I go to menu>settings>wireless & networks>Wifi Settings and rescan, the network does not show!! I then went to add wi-fi under the above path but its says its not in range yet my laptop conects perfectly.i am wondering if i have to change any seeting on my router??

Thanks for your help so far :)0
 
I'd first check to see if the router was set to broadcast the SSID and then check what security protocols you are using.
