Do you know if the device has a connection to the Internet through WiFi now. Can you internet surf to say Google.com ?

If Ys then this will work
If No ... then then it will not.

It will work just fine over wifi. Being an octa core tablet though, the device may get hot and throttle itself with all cores crunching. You might have to find a happy medium between output and heat. Maybe start using it with 4 cores crunching, then gradually raise until you are happy. While you are not using the tablet, you could also put it on an active cooling area like an A/C vent or laptop cooler.

A lot depends on the quality of the tablet. I've been running 2 Huawei octa core tablets for around 10 months without any heat issues but cheaper generic Android devices may have issues. I have about 30 really cheap Vodafone 4 core Androids that have been running for over 3 years without any problems but the 2 Samsung and the single LG Android I have running needed replacement batteries after 2 years due to swelling. If and when you Setup Boinc on your Android then make sure the maximum battery temperature is set no higher than 40 degrees (C).

I actually have over 60 androids of various vintages running! I'm currently not running them on WCG as Zika units take an age to run . I'm waiting for new units From Smash Childhood Cancer before I resume. I don't see any bandwidth fall off as the project I'm running right now has units that take around 18-24 hours to complete and I have a very good modem/router plus an excellent router which can handle between them 64 2.4ghz channels plus 96 5.0 ghz channels so plenty of room for expansion lol. I also have a high speed internet connection. As far as the temperatures go my Vodafone androids are set to 45 and these cheapo androids will not root (I've tried) others I've left at 40.
