To add a Wi-Fi network to your Kindle Paperwhite, follow these steps:
If necessary, turn on your Kindle Paperwhite.
Tap Menu→Settings
From the same screen, tap Wi-Fi Networks.
If Wi-Fi is not turned on, you will get a message asking if it should be turned on. Tap OK.
Or, if the Kindle Paperwhite is in Airplane mode (that is, Wi-Fi is not turned on), you'll see a message asking if you want to turn off Airplane mode.
Select the network to which you want to connect.
If the network you want to connect to has a lock icon next to its name, you need to enter a password.
If the network requires a password, enter it in the Wi-Fi Networks dialog box using the onscreen keyboard.
If you are connecting to a network at work and don't know the password, see the system administrator.
You can enter numbers and symbols by tapping the keyboard's 123!? key. Tap ABC to go back to the regular keyboard.
When your Kindle Paperwhite is connected to Wi-Fi, a wireless indicator appears in the upper-right corner of the screen, next to the battery charge meter. You see this indicator on the Home screen and when you display the toolbar while reading an e-book.
The wireless indicator can be one of the following:
Wi-Fi: The Kindle Paperwhite is connected to a Wi-Fi network. The arcs on the fan next to Wi-Fi indicate the strength of the Wi-Fi connection.
3G: The Kindle Paperwhite 3G is connected to a 3G network. This icon pertains only to the Kindle Paperwhite that includes 3G and Wi-Fi. The bars next to 3G indicate the strength of the 3G connection.
1X: The Kindle Paperwhite 3G is connected to a network through EDGE/GPRS (the predecessor to 3G in cellular network delivery). The 1X icon applies only to the Kindle Paperwhite 3G. As cellular networks become more widespread, you will rarely — if ever — see this icon.
Bucky,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation.
I'm sure it's helpful for a lot of novices.
Thanks again.
