Connect wireless 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.

Good luck.

Your best option may be to go ahead and tell the device to forget, then set up the WiFi connection again.

Good luck.

Your first answer is good. If you need to find the existing password, open your browser and type 192.168.1.1 . Use the password to open the router home page. Try "admin, admin". If that gets you onto the home page, try "Wireless settings", look for Wireless status. There will be three types of security i.e. . WEP, WPA2, etc. The one with several characters following it contains the password. Put this password into the receiving device.

If you have poor internet connection problem with your WiFi, try with the following steps,
1.)Reset the wireless router by using the power switch on it or by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
2.)Place the wireless router in an ideal location. The higher it is, the better, but don't put it near metal objects.
3.)Get as close as possible to the router with whatever device you're trying to connect.
4.)Keep the router and your connecting device away from other electronics. You should especially keep away from phones, fax machines and microwaves. etc.,
5.)Adjust the Wifi antenna if it has one.
6.)Change the router's channel, especially if other wireless routers are nearby.Following these steps would give you stable internet connection and also increased speed in connection. You can check your internet speed from ScanmySpeed.com before and after following these steps.

Firstly Check if your WIFI router is working by accessing the WIFI connection from another computer, tablet or phone.

If it does, then use the same WiFi connection settings that it has on your ARCHOS.

You could also try connecting your ARCHOS to a friend's WiFi network and if this works, change your access point parameters to similar ones.

OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING OPTIONS:
1. Check your WiFi router/modem documentation to see if it has a pairing button that needs to be pressed. Some modems have such a button that must be pressed the very first time you try to make a WiFi connection with a new device.

2. If you have to enter a password (a security code of type WEP or WPA) be very careful that you do not confuse a 1 and I (one and letter "I"), a 0 and O (zero and letter "O"), or U and V. These are common mistakes.

3. When entering a security code for your WiFi access, check the box "Show Password" which will allow you to see exactly what you are typing in. This will avoid any mistakes.

4. Some access points use what is known as MAC filtering. That means, the WiFi access point has a list of access numbers (every hardware device has a unique MAC number) which are the only ones allowed to access to the WiFi point. The person managing the WiFi modem/router should shut off this MAC filtering system to see if this solves the problem. It is recommended to shut off MAC filtering in general as this is now known to be an outdated and ineffective system for WiFi security. If you must use it, you can find your device's specific MAC address by going to Settings >Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced. It will look something like 00:16:dc:5e:9e:39.

5. Try temporarily shutting off the encryption system of your WiFi router/modem to see if the problem has to do with the encryption system you are using. The preferred encryption system is the WPA2.

It's not necessary to change your wifi locations every time you go on a different place with a different wifi network.

congratulations, your new device meets with the features functionalities of networking, communications among several innovative impressions. First, lets get familiar with networking termnology. Online is another term of surfing the internet either by a computer or recent telephone devices. For example, devices that are online have features capable of recognising several similar devices with several feature functionalities. Already modern computers are internet compartible especially with the recent ingenuities are wireless adaptable least requiring cables to capture online or inter networking requirements.

Lets get started with the online experience.

1. New computers would require that networking features be turned on for the first time. For example, powering device should briefly allow the user to ascertain the networking panel area for ajustments. Especially with new devices, networking panel area should be capable of allowing the user enable recognition of several other devices within the vicinity similar to settings required by having many computers requesting network communications.

a. Prior familiarise with the devices user guides ascertaining about wiifii, wireless feature locations buttons.
b. powering on the computer device from where feature buttons observable can be enabled by check markers or buttons especially makes the networking functionality attainable.

2. Once the computers networking features are turned on especially that new user recognises that several devices would derive interconnective creates the online processes

a. usually new computers would have on the desktop an icon button that indicates internet explore navigation, especially of recent computers may be mozziler foxpro, google chrome also called network pages or browsers.
b. Locate the browser icons, a click on the button should display a page especially with new computers already with wireless signals features enabled should display a message.
for example, an aready existing computer with wireless resources is capable of being recognised on the new computers browser page as indication that the online process is successful. What makes the online process unattaionable? For example, the new computer may least attain accessibility another computer in situations that available devices in vicinity are subscriber line networks. What that means is that the local area vicinity computers or telephone devices that are wireless capable are subscriber device least allowing sharing resources. It may be possible in this situation that the new computer recognises available devices however least capable of attaining or displaying resources beyond the browser page. For example, a click on the browser on the computer desktop would display a page also with messages that a connection as not successful, aborted, disconnected or unavailable. Usually,attempting to connect a computer device or phone may require refering with internetworking provider that has several functions.

For example,

1. the local area where the new computer is being installed would have existing computers that have subscriber paid services least allowing that devices share resources without additional fees.
2. refering with the networking provider ascertains that the new computer may share resources from available computers at paid fees discussable. For example, in area that the local area devices have broadband resource sharing usually costs exuberantly. second, in a situation that the local area devices have networked betweet devices least allowing access may require acquiring modems or modulations devices as means toe belong to the several devices of networks. The advantages of modems is that, the new computer becomes capable of capturing an enormous amount of resources especially from several networked structures. modems have enormous functionalities, the possibilities are that the new computer may interprete programs, that may least becomes dicipered especially that networking involves several devices, computers microsoft, apple mac, or telephones from several technology companies. A modem adds to the interpretation capability of the new computer that may already be internetworking compartible.

Something has changed in your wifi settings first check wifi is turned on (press menu On the right hand side next to the battery it will say off is wifi is turned off) the first option in the menu is turn on wifi.
if wifi is on click home -> menue and go to settings scroll down to wifi see if your wireless network is there if it is not but other networks are there it is a problem with your house network not the kindle

if your house network is there with a message next to it saying connect then click connect if it says forget then forget it and connect again.

If the device fails to connect you should go into settings push menu and then restart if still no luck go to settings and click reset to factory defaults and try again through wifi settings if this does not work their is a fault with your device and you have to talk to amazon

amazon will charge you to replace the device if you tell them anything like you dropped it so as far as you know it was working when you went to bed you woke up the next day and it didn't work ;)

let me know if this helps

Ok! This is what I fund out personally. The WiFi connection needs to be a non-hot Wifi network. Meaning certain Wifi connections have a security lock preventing any file transfers. I tried several locations to make a connection (Coffee shops, Mc D's, Library, Work, etc.). The Best wy to connect your Literati is to find a friend who has a WiFi ruouter and ask him/her of there password temporarly.

Now you need to enable the Wifi under the settings area by hitting the menu button ans scroll down to the settings tab. select the Wifi or wireless option. Enable the Wifi and your unit should start scanning the area networks. This is where you'll find your friends link or an open unsecure network. Do not select any links that have a pad lock unless your know there password. Once you join, wait about 1 minute and the unit will prompt you to update the software. From here it all down hill..
