Connect To A Wi-Fi Network - Amazon KINDLE - User Manual

Connect to a Wi-Fi Network

Your Kindle can connect to Wi-Fi networks or hotspots that use the 802.11b or 802.11g
standard. Kindle does not connect to enterprise or ad-hoc Wi-Fi networks (networks that
allow peer-to-peer connections without a wireless access point). Keep in mind that you
must be within range of one or more Wi-Fi networks in order to connect to one.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:
1. Press the Home button, then press the Menu button.
2. Navigate to "Settings" by moving the 5-way controller down, then press the 5-way controller
to select.
3. 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. "
4. Select "connect" to connect to a network. If you see a lock symbol next to "connect" , the
network requires a password to connect.
5. Enter the Wi-Fi password (if required). Press the Symbol key
characters not present on the Kindle keyboard. You can continue to use the keyboard while
the Symbol menu is displayed.
6. Choose "submit. " Kindle connects to the Wi-Fi network.
Once you're 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.
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. For more
information, see "Forget a Wi-Fi Network. "
