Either find the WiFi your tablet knows about, or modify your current WiFi like the old one temporarily.
You could also set up a new temporary account and setup the new WiFi, then remove the temporary account.
Best yet; Think harder and figure out the old password.

Why does my verizon tablet keep disconnecting from wifi and not accepting my pasword to get back on

There could be several reasons why your Verizon tablet keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi and not accepting your password to reconnect. Here are some possible solutions:
  1. Restart your tablet and your Wi-Fi router: Sometimes, simply restarting your tablet and router can help resolve connectivity issues.
  2. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength: Weak Wi-Fi signal strength can cause frequent disconnections. Move closer to the router or try to improve the signal strength by repositioning the router or using a Wi-Fi signal booster.
  3. Check your Wi-Fi network settings: Check if your Wi-Fi network settings match those of your router. Make sure you have the correct security settings and password. Try to forget the network and then reconnect and re-enter your password.
  4. Clear your tablet's cache: Clearing your tablet's cache can sometimes help with connectivity issues. You can do this by going to Settings > Storage > Cached data > Clear cached data.
  5. Check for software updates: Make sure that your tablet is running the latest software updates. Check for updates in Settings > System updates.
  6. Factory reset: As a last resort, you can try doing a factory reset on your tablet. This will erase all data on the tablet, so make sure to back up any important files before doing this. Go to Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
If none of these solutions work, you may want to contact Verizon customer support for further assistance.

Our new kindle paper white will not connect to our wifi

The Kindle Paperwhite automatically scans for Wi-Fi networks that are in range of your device. If one networks are found, the device will connect automatically. If a password is required, a screen appears asking you to input that information. Generally, the process is quick and easy.
Occasionally, however, you may need to connect to the Wi-Fi network manually. Follow these steps:
  1. Tap Menu?Settings.
  2. If the network to which you want to connect appears in the list, tap that network.You're finished!
  3. If the network to which you want to connect doesn't appear in the list:
    1. Tap Other.A dialog box named Enter Wi-Fi Network appears, along with the on-screen keyboard.
    2. Using the onscreen keyboard, enter the network name and, if applicable, the password.
    3. Tap the Advanced button.
    4. Work through the series of screens, entering information related to the network, including connection type, IP address, and security type.
      Advance through the screens by using the up and down arrows.
      If necessary, contact the person who set up the network for assistance with filling in this information.
    5. When all the necessary information has been entered, tap the Connect button to join the network.
If your Kindle Paperwhite is connected to your home network but can't connect to Amazon, you may need to reestablish the connection. Tap Menu?Settings?Wi-Fi Networks, and then tap the network that has a check mark to its left. When the Forget Network? dialog box appears, tap Forget. You'll have to reselect the network and enter the password (if one is required).
If you're having trouble connecting to your home network, unplug the Wi-Fi router, wait at least 60 seconds, and then plug it in and wait for the network to restart.
If this does not work....follow this link and do a factory reset.

How do I connect to the kindle store my kindle will not connect so I may download kindle books?

To connect to the Kindle Store your device must have either a wi-fi connection to the Internet or a 3G Whispersynch connection via a telecom. Some Kindles come with the 3G and some don't. The ones that don't require a Wi-Fi connection.

So, if you have Wi-Fi access the turn off Airplane mode in Settings and enter the Wi-Fi password to your router. If you are using public Wi-Fi such as at McDonalds you might have to
use the experimental browser in setting to be able to click the *accept terms* button or you will not have access even if connected.

Ok I asked the question three days ago why can I get on a free wifi connection with my phone but not my tablet

The free Wi Fi router may have run out of IP leases on its DHCP server just when you were trying to connect the tablet. If the leases are as an example say one week long then if lots of people connect to the free wi fi they get a lease for one week. So if the device comes back within the week it already has an IP address assigned to it and works. If a new device comes along it has to ask the DHCP server via the WI FI to assign it an IP address. If all available IP addresses are leased from the WI FI router the device will not get assigned an ip address. Would suggest trying to connect the Tablet on another Wi FI system to test it works.
I had this happen on my mobile phone when I was in Surfers Paradise in a Coffee shop and suspected the lease time on the WI FI router was too long for the amount of short term customers using the coffee shop. (the staff had no idea on why the Wi FI was not working so it would have been pointless to try and explain this concept to them and how to change the lease time on the dhcp server) Also there is a limit to the simultaneous number of users on a Wi Fi frequency on one access point . Unless the WI FI uses multiple WI FI access points.

Connect to ipad

You don't assign an IP address to your iPad, it has one assigned to it by your router.

Open the Settings app on your iPad. Make sure Airplane Mode is OFF. Tap Wi-Fi. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is ON, Ask to Join Networks is ON. Your in-home wi-fi network should be visible in the list titled Choose a Network.... Tap its name and provide the network password required by your router.

If you don't see your local router listed, it may not be properly configured.

Unable to join network

Found this written by someone on another website - worked great for me - not a problem since - have downloaded books via Kobo website straight from the device, everything works perfectly. Thank goodness this person posted.
Go to advanced and reset the system to the mfg settings & it will power down. Turn back on, don't set the date/time & instead reset the system again a second time. At this point it may take awhile to power down and come back on but once you go thru this process, your Literati will update w/ the latest software and work. I followed these instructions and works great now no problems at all.
