SOURCE: Unable to connect my Kindle

check to see if you have a button to allow wifi access on your router, if you press that button for 2 seconds it will allow your wireless device to connect

Ask someone for the password, or if this is your router then you may need to factory reset the router and setup a new password

Your best option may be to go ahead and tell the device to forget, then set up the WiFi connection again.

Good luck.

Turning onto internet I get a white box up with retry o I have Got all the wifi settings up on the screen and underneath my TalkTalk_wifi number there is a sentence saying AUTHENTICATION PROBLEM ?
If your Kindle is not blacklisted, and the dialog box states that you have an authentication problem, then your Kindle is not connecting to your local network. Sometimes this can be caused by chip failure on the Kindle mobo, but usually it is due to an external network problem. You should try again once or twice and then if you continue to experience the problem, try to reset your local router by turning it off and on.

Why does my tablet keep saying authentication problem when trying to connect to wifi
Had same problem - said signal weak although strong on other devices, and hung on authenticating.
