It may be possible to get your router to start sending out 2.4GHz too. If you're able, check your Wi-Fi connection settings from your provider to see if this is the case or not. So it's possible your Kindle can't 'see' your Wi-Fi router because the box is only sending out 5GHz, while your Kindle only 'sees' 2.4GHz. Well, most tech nowadays can connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but since the latter is faster and more reliable, some routers only use it, instead of 2.4GHz. Firstly, Kindles only connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi - this is older, and a bit slower, than 5GHz Wi-Fi, which most modern devices use. Once you've done this, press 'Connect' and your Kindle should now be connected to the internet.Ĭan't find your Wi-Fi connection in the list? There are a few reasons why not. Now, click the name of the Wi-Fi network, and put in the password you wrote down (or have handy).

On this list you should see all the Wi-Fi networks you're in range of, including the one you hope to connect to. Press 'Wi-Fi Networks' in the menu you're on, and a pop-up here should show you a list of all the internet connections in range. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2018) (Image credit: Future)
