Tips:

If your Kindle offers both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, use Wi-Fi whenever possible for faster
downloads.

If you don't remember your network password, check your router and there may be a sticker
displaying the default password.

Please note that your Kindle does not support connecting to ad hoc (or peer-to-peer) Wi-Fi
networks.

If you are still having difficulties, please contact your Network Administrator, the individual
responsible for maintaining the network you are trying to access, or your Internet Service
Provider (ISP).

Kindle Paperwhite 3G models use the same technology as cell phones, so they are dependent
on cellular coverage areas. By default, a 3G device will automatically connect to a 3G network.
If there isn't sufficient 3G signal strength, it will connect to a slower GPRS or EDGE network.
Your Kindle automatically turns off 3G when you connect using Wi-Fi. If you disconnect from
a Wi-Fi network or move out of Wi-Fi range, your Kindle will automatically switch back to 3G.

Airplane Mode

To turn wireless off and enter airplane mode, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, then
tap Airplane Mode. Any periodical downloads or other pending updates that require a
wireless connection will occur the next time you turn it back on. Turning on Airplane Mode
disables both 3G and Wi-Fi connections.
