Connect your Kindle® to password-protected WiFi
Just in case you need to connect your Amazon-Kindle® to a password-protected WiFi network - and it does not work...
That often happens in hotels, at airports or other locations
with protected WiFi access.
An unconfortable but working solution is the following:
You need a real computer (or tablet or smart smartphone) to
find out the IP address of the WiFi router...
If you don't know what that is - this solution is not for you,
sorry.
1.) Use a computer to find out the IP address of the router
of the protected WiFi.
2.) On your Kindle®, enter this IP address as browser URL.
3.) Your Kindle® browser will display the appropriate login or registration page. It won't look nice, and typing username and password won't be comfortable. But it will work!
4.) nothing more to do :-)
