To add a new Wi-Fi Network:
If you don't see the network you want to connect to in the list of detected networks, you can add it by choosing "Enter other Wi-Fi network" at the bottom of the list of detected networks.
- Make sure you are within range of the network you want to add, and that you know the network name and password (if required).
- Press the Home button, then press the Menu button.
- Navigate to "Settings" by moving the 5-way controller down, then press the 5-way controller to select.
- Select "view" next to "Wi-Fi Settings" to display a list of detected Wi-Fi networks.
- Use the 5-way controller to navigate down to "Enter other Wi-Fi network" and press to select.
- Enter the name of the Wi-Fi network that you want to add.
- Enter the password (if required). Press the Symbol key to enter numbers or characters not present on the Kindle keyboard. You can continue to use the keyboard while the Symbol menu is displayed.
- Choose "submit." Kindle connects to the new Wi-Fi network.
If your Kindle fails to connect to the new Wi-Fi network, it will display an "unable to connect" message. You can try manually entering all the network information for the Wi-Fi network by choosing "set up network" when you see the "unable to connect" message. If you don't know the network information, try connecting to a different network, or contact the network's administrator.
To forget a Wi-Fi network:
You can tell Kindle to forget the Wi-Fi network you're connected to so that your Kindle doesn't connect to it automatically in the future.
- While connected to the network that you want to forget, press the Home button, then press the Menu button.
- Navigate to "Settings" by moving the 5-way controller down, then press the 5-way controller to select.
- Select "view" next to "Wi-Fi Settings" to display a list of detected Wi-Fi networks. You may have to wait a moment as your Kindle detects networks in range. The Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to displays the word "forget" next to it in the list of available networks.
- Choose "forget" to disconnect from the network.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
- Press the Home button, then press the Menu button.
- Navigate to "Settings" by moving the 5-way controller down, then press the 5-way controller to select.
- Select "view" next to "Wi-Fi Settings" to display a list of detected Wi-Fi networks. You may have to wait a moment as your Kindle detects networks in range. Kindle automatically scans for available Wi-Fi networks at periodic intervals. To rescan for available networks at any time, select "rescan."
- Select "connect" to connect to a network. If you see a lock symbol next to "connect," the network requires a password to connect.
- If necessary, enter the Wi-Fi network password, and choose "submit." Press the Symbol key to enter numbers or characters not present on the Kindle keyboard.
Once you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, Kindle automatically connects to it again whenever that network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, your Kindle automatically connects to the network that was most recently used.
Tip: Once your Kindle connects to a Wi-Fi network, that network displays "forget" next to it in the list of available networks. Selecting "forget" disconnects your Kindle from that Wi-Fi network and also prevents Kindle from automatically connecting to it in the future.
