problems connecting android tablet to virgin media wireless - HELP ME

I am having problems connecting my new Teclast p76ti tablet to my virgin media wireless - I have the Virgin Home Hub router.

I can see the router on my new tablet but when I try to connect to it it just drops out.
I can also see BT Openzone which connects fine.

When I disable the security settings on my router my tablet connects to it but I still cant access the internet.

Can anyone help me?

    I have now managed to get it connected to the internet but only when the security settings on my wireless are disabled.

    I'd start again

    Go into the wifi settings on the tablet and select your router and select 'forget connection' [or similar]
    Switch off the tablet
    Switch the router off for 5 mins and then back on again
    Then power the tablet back up
