You can bypass that by tapping four corners from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, do it for two more time in the same order, so total 12 tap, then press volume down, after that you will able to connect to wifi and set up without SIM.

Just FYI, if you want this tablet unlock after 180 days and you don't intent to keep your metro phone number , it's better to activate your tablet with metro sim as soon as possible. Otherwise this could happen:
1. It's time to pay your next metro phone bill, metro will charge you $40, it will charge from the $20 which you have paid for the tablet first, but of course that's not enough, so you still have a $20 due on your account.
2. After this point, you can't activate your tablet since you don't have $20 to pay the first month tablet charge any more...
3. Then your stable could be locked to metro forever since it never get activated on metro.

This sped up my tablet a lot.
EDIT: A7 lite
As per Samsung: Remove animations: Tap this to negate screen effects from apps if your eyes are sensitive to animations. It can also help speed up your device a little.

Isn't spending $20 more and getting a phone (Moto, Nord etc) a MUCH better idea.
What do people even do with this tablet especially at this speed?
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank lonelime
For $20 it's not a bad deal. But currently, it's not worth getting a 2nd one.

Click on Permanent unlock after 180 days of activation....it should unlock it for any mobile service provider sim.
Anyway to get rid of the Metro PCS stuff at this point?
But the Metro PCS bloat has a Unlock button I plan to try in 6 months. If it unlocks I'lll try the reset at that time.
Happened to me on a previous account with 2 lines - 1 of which was added a few days before the 2nd.
The hassle it took to get it fixed with their support was not worth the number of days lost I eventually recovered.

Thanks.
Actually not sure if you don't activate it properly if you will be able to order other phones or not.
It is surprisingly slow. I have the eye comfort shield turned on, but sometimes when an app is processing, the eye comfort shield will momentarily turn off and back on again.
You need to agree to the Samsung terms to setup the device. It comes with some Metro bloatware.
