Once you have taken your Tablo out of the box and you have attached the power, antenna and hard drive, you are ready to set up Tablo via Wi-Fi.

Begin by downloading the legacy Tablo app from the Google Play Store, then open the Tablo app on your Android phone or tablet.

When you open the Tablo app, you will be taken to the main ‘Add a new Tablo’ screen. Select ADD VIA WI-FI.

Wait up to three minutes. Your Tablo's blue LED should stop pulsing and turn solid blue. When it does, this means your Tablo has now joined your Wi-Fi network. Your Android phone/tablet and the rest of your devices should now be able to connect to the Tablo.
