“How do I connect my Kindle Fire to WiFi or a hotspot?”
How to connect to Wi-Fi with the Kindle Fire:
- Select ‘Quick Settings’ icon from the home screen.
- Choose Wi-Fi.
- Make sure Wireless Network is switched on.
- You should see a list of available networks. Give it a few seconds to detect your wireless network. You may need to refresh it by turning ‘Wireless Network’ off and back on.
- Select the network you wish to join.
- If there is a lock symbol next to your network, you will need the password for that particular wireless network.
- Enter the password and tap ‘Connect’.
- Once you have successfully connected to your network, the Kindle Fire will automatically connect to it again whenever you are within range.

I am attempting to connect to an unsecured website I have previously accessed. The site requires a username & password that changes (controlled access but not secure). My Fire won’t log on saying the password I supplied is incorrect but I can’t find a way to access the username/password screen. How do I change the username & password for an unsecured site on my Kindle Fire?

I have a office near my residence and have 2 routers for each location with the same settings. I can get the kindle to work on the office router but when I take it into the house I can still bring up a connection but I get a x by the wifi on top. I have tried to shut down the wifi connection and bring it back up to make sure it finds the new router, but it still shows the x.?

I have the same problem. My Kindle works with other wifi, but not at home though my home wifi is working perfectly for computer and cell phones.

Same issue as numerous commentators. Passwords must change every 60 days. I can’t find a way to access the username/password screen. to get my Kindle Fire to change the old password which it has cached.
