Using Wi-Fi; Connect To A Wi-Fi Network - Amazon Kindle User Manual

If Wi-Fi or 3G is not available at your current location, you can purchase items in the Kindle Store using your computer and
then transfer them to your Kindle via USB. See
using your computer to transfer items to your Kindle.

1.7 Using Wi-Fi

Kindle automatically detects nearby Wi-Fi networks and hotspots that broadcast their network name. When you visit a place
that offers Wi-Fi access, such as your school, home, or the Wi-Fi hotspot at your favorite cafe, you can set up a Wi-Fi network.
Once you set up a Wi-Fi network and connect to it, Kindle automatically connects to it the next time you return to the same
place, as long as the Wi-Fi signal is strong enough.

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 password (if required). Press the Symbol key
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.
