If you are a Kindle user, you might have faced difficulties connecting your device to WiFi. It is a common issue faced by many Kindle users, especially those who own an old Kindle. The problem might occur when browsing or downloading books on your Kindle. In this blog post, we will discuss some troubleshooting tips to help you fix this issue.
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Before we move to advanced troubleshooting steps, let’s start with some basic troubleshooting. First, restart your device by pressing and holding the power button. You can also restart your router as sometimes it can cause the problem.
Advanced Troubleshooting Steps
If basic troubleshooting does not work, you can try the following steps:
Step 1: Enable Airplane Mode
Press the three-dot line on the main page of your Kindle and tap on “Settings.” From there, tap on “WiFi and Bluetooth” and enable “Airplane mode.” Wait for around 10 seconds before turning it back off. This will cut out every network connection that you have. Once you turn it back on, it will reconnect with your WiFi network. Check if the problem is solved.
Step 2: Forget and Reconnect to WiFi Network
If the problem persists, choose your WiFi network from the “WiFi and Bluetooth” section. Select your connected WiFi network and tap on “Forget this network.” Now, reconnect to the same WiFi network and check if it works.
Step 3: Correct Your Device Date and Time
If your device date and time are incorrect, it can also cause WiFi connection problems. To correct the date and time, tap on the three dots on the main page and select “Settings.” From there, tap on “Device options” and then “Device time.” Correct your date and time to solve the problem.
In Conclusion
These troubleshooting tips should help you fix the WiFi connection problem on your old Kindle. Once you have followed the steps, you should be able to browse and download books on your Kindle without any further issues.
