You need to set up a wireless Host Access Point on your PC and secure it with WPA2. If you are really paranoid about attacks of the wireless connection, you can set up more advanced (enterprise) authentication between the access point and the tablet using SSL certificates and/or a RADIUS server. This would probably be an overkill for a domestic environment with a single device. As alternative, if more than WPA2 network security is a must, it would be easier to set up a VPN tunnel between the two devices, or SSH SOCKS5 server on the PC and something like proxychains on the client. For setting up hostapd have a look here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hostapd -- Regards, Mick
