Ok, first Can you share a phone number in case we got disconnected?

Also I need to know if you know what is your wifi name and wifi password?

Posted
Customer

My phone is not working properly at the moment, that's why i am using e-mails. The wifi name is BTWIFI-WITH-FON and the wifi password is katanga05.

Thankyou Sir

I see,

Ok First I need you to check on your kindle.

Go to the Settings and go to where it says Wifi or wireless, check there if you see your wifi name and if it says connected?

If not try connecting it to the Wifi and and let me knowhow it turned out.

I'll wait for your response.

Hello Sir, I have connected to btwifi-with-fon but the orange light is only 1/4 of the way up, even though it says connected. When you go any further it just says---unable to connect to wi-fi network.

Thank Freddie,

Where do you see the orange light?

Also Can you try restarting both the Kindle and Wifi?

This should reset if there is any conflict between the 2 this is the most common.

You can restart the Kindle BY

Hold down the power button on the kindle Until it ask you about powering OFF, Then proceed to power OFF

Once Its OFF Hold the power button down until you see the Kindle logo and it should turn it self ON.

You can restart the Wifi BY

UNplugging the router's power and plugging it back in.

Once you did both go back to settings and check the status of the connection again and try reconnecting the kindle to the Wifi.

Let me know how it works.

The orange light is at the bottom tip of the btwifi-with-FON. It is now saying ----obtaining IP address, i dont understand what that is. it is now saying----verifying registration status, it now says  server response has run out. Now it is back to Amazon Account info, and now it is saying -----no network connection which brings it back to square one. it's going round in circles. i am very frustrated i cant even get youtube on it anymore. Do you think this thing is out of date or too old to work?

Try repeating the steps I gave you. try to be as close to where the router is at.

Restart the router box again

and try reconnecting.

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to show Quick Settings, and then tap Wireless.
  2. Verify that Airplane Mode is Off.
  3. Next to Wi-Fi, tap On.
  4. Tap a network to connect to it. If you see a lock image of lock icon 
				icon, a network password is required. Enter the Wi-Fi network password, and then tap Connect.

When you check the Kindle's settings / Wifi /wireless

Does it say your wireless name? This will let us see if you failed to connect to the router or you're connected but not getting wifi data.

Posted
Customer

I dont quite understand what a wireless name is. i can only notice the wifis ----btwifi-with-FON, bswifi, bthub5-pm9q etc. Where will i get this wireless name from?

Freddie

Wireless Name is the name broadcasted by your wireless router.

in your wifi settings you should be able to see if you are connected to the router or not

Example:

Kindle connected to "Charlie's-pc" wireless name

Posted
Customer

The wireless name i can see is BTWIFI-with-FON,which is in the wireless section

If it does say connected,

Posted
Customer

The Kindle HD7 should have an app called "SILK" 

This works like internet explorer or Web browser for the Kindle
