Wifi wont connect

As an Anrdoid tablet, it should have a "Settings" icon, either a gear, a sprocket, a set of bars and "sliders", or a tool shape. Click on that, and search for "Wireless $ Networks" or "Connections". Click and open that option. Search for "Wi-Fi" and turn it on (slider to the right o a check in a box). Then go to "Wi-Fi Settings (or similar). A list of active networks should appear. If none, then you have no Wi-Fi close by or it isn't on.

If you do see networks, choose your own. If there is a small lock at the right, it needs a password to sign in. Touch your network name. It should ask for a password Click "Show password" and type the password. Then touch "Connect" The screen should show the sign in process and then "Connected". That is all you need. Press the Home button to return to the main menu.

If you still cannot connect, you may have a problem. I recommend contacting the manufacturer online or by phone (both information should be on the documentation).

Weak wifi signal or defective tablet or router.

The Kindle Paperwhite automatically scans for Wi-Fi networks that are in range of your device. If one networks are found, the device will connect automatically. If a password is required, a screen appears asking you to input that information. Generally, the process is quick and easy.
Occasionally, however, you may need to connect to the Wi-Fi network manually. Follow these steps:

1. Tap Menu?Settings.
2. If the network to which you want to connect appears in the list, tap that network.You're finished!
3. If the network to which you want to connect doesn't appear in the list:
   
   1. Tap Other.A dialog box named Enter Wi-Fi Network appears, along with the on-screen keyboard.
   2. Using the onscreen keyboard, enter the network name and, if applicable, the password.
   3. Tap the Advanced button.
   4. Work through the series of screens, entering information related to the network, including connection type, IP address, and security type.
      Advance through the screens by using the up and down arrows.
      If necessary, contact the person who set up the network for assistance with filling in this information.
   5. When all the necessary information has been entered, tap the Connect button to join the network.

If your Kindle Paperwhite is connected to your home network but can't connect to Amazon, you may need to reestablish the connection. Tap Menu?Settings?Wi-Fi Networks, and then tap the network that has a check mark to its left. When the Forget Network? dialog box appears, tap Forget. You'll have to reselect the network and enter the password (if one is required).
If you're having trouble connecting to your home network, unplug the Wi-Fi router, wait at least 60 seconds, and then plug it in and wait for the network to restart.
If this does not work....follow this link and do a factory reset.

Good luck.

Touch the Apps Menu button on the Home screen.

Open the Settings app.

Choose Wireless & Networks.

Choose Wi-Fi Settings.

Ensure that Wi-Fi is on.
When you see a green check mark next to the Wi-Fi option, Wi-Fi is on.

Choose a wireless network from the list.
Available Wi-Fi networks appear at the bottom of the screen. When no wireless networks are listed, you're sort of out of luck regarding wireless access from your current location.
Optionally, type the network password.
Touch the Password text box to see the onscreen keyboard.
Touch the Show Password check box so that you can see what you're typing; some of those network passwords can be long.
Touch the Connect button.
You should be immediately connected to the network. If not, try the password again.

Step 1Ensure the Wi-Fi and Low Power button located on the top of the device is not in the Off position. This will completely shut off your Wi-Fi adaptor and prevent you from connecting to the network.

Step 2Press the power button on the left side of the device and allow the Pandigital Novel to detect local network connections. If you can't find a local connection, you may be out of range and should move closer to the wireless router until the device detects the network.

Step 3Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network from the provided connection list. If the network has a lock icon next to the name, this means you will need the network security password to log in.

Step 4Enter the security password if prompted, and then tap "Connect."

Step 5Tap the "Next" button to reconnect to the Wi-Fi connection.

Step 6Tap the "Web" button from the main menu if you are attempting to connect to a public hotspot. This will launch the Web browser where you can enter any log in information required to obtain an Internet connection at the hot spot.

on this page you will find almost all answers for your questions related with the tablet ..(under internet tablets sector )
The issue in your case it is the internet connection itself ..either the wireless network you used it is not working anymore or not on (if you use a router ) ..or simply you reset the tablet and you need to make the connection again ..Just open the internet connections ..(wireless card 0 ..and select to scan for networks ...and when you find your network ..select ti ..and than click connect ..This should connect it right the way ..
Also check if your internet network may need your mac address for to let you connect ..(this happens on the networks having the access restricted by the Mac address..)
to get it follow these :

1. Click on Settings.
2. Click on Wireless & Networks.
3. Click on Wi-Fi Settings.
4. Click the MENU button, located on the side of the unit.
5. Click on "Advanced".
6. Your MAC address will appear in the Advance Menu ..

same way to get to the connection for to activate just open wifi connections ..

u search wifi networks ,,should have in the menu wifi connections or add a new network,,do a search for wifi,,a wifi scan,,when new netwrks or signal s appear on there,,,if it says open u can go online,,if passwrd enabled or wep or psk or whatever u cant ,,has to be a open signal,,like mcdonalds,,hotels,,,stuff like that,,drive an d search,,

You have to go through the settings menu and then to wifi. From there you want to make sure the check is green. If it is green there should be a list of wifi networks in the local area.
If it wont turn green: there is likely an issue with the device. You can try updating the rom (see the support tab on the velocity cruz website). This can many times fix issues. If this was done I would try doing it again to make sure there was no glitch and if it still fails contact the seller or velocity.

If there are networks: Try connecting to the one you know (or that you know is safe). You probably need a password to get on. That is something you'll have to find out, it was set with your wifi router/adapter. If you want to try a place that has wifi you can go to starbucks or something similar where you know there is wifi and it is free. This should give you access to a network to troubleshoot that. If you see networks and cannot connect at all there is likely an issue with the device and you should contact the seller or velocity.
If there aren't networks: You need to ensure that there are networks in the general area. Using a laptop that has wifi enabled and an adapter either built in, usb, or card, generally shows networks. If other devices find networks and your cruz doesn't try updating the firmware (cruz website>support tab). If you still cant find networks that other devices can there is likely an issue with the wireless card within the device and you should contact the seller and/or velocity for an exchange.
good luck

Something has changed in your wifi settings first check wifi is turned on (press menu On the right hand side next to the battery it will say off is wifi is turned off) the first option in the menu is turn on wifi.
if wifi is on click home -> menue and go to settings scroll down to wifi see if your wireless network is there if it is not but other networks are there it is a problem with your house network not the kindle

if your house network is there with a message next to it saying connect then click connect if it says forget then forget it and connect again.

If the device fails to connect you should go into settings push menu and then restart if still no luck go to settings and click reset to factory defaults and try again through wifi settings if this does not work their is a fault with your device and you have to talk to amazon

amazon will charge you to replace the device if you tell them anything like you dropped it so as far as you know it was working when you went to bed you woke up the next day and it didn't work ;)

let me know if this helps

Ok! This is what I fund out personally. The WiFi connection needs to be a non-hot Wifi network. Meaning certain Wifi connections have a security lock preventing any file transfers. I tried several locations to make a connection (Coffee shops, Mc D's, Library, Work, etc.). The Best wy to connect your Literati is to find a friend who has a WiFi ruouter and ask him/her of there password temporarly.

Now you need to enable the Wifi under the settings area by hitting the menu button ans scroll down to the settings tab. select the Wifi or wireless option. Enable the Wifi and your unit should start scanning the area networks. This is where you'll find your friends link or an open unsecure network. Do not select any links that have a pad lock unless your know there password. Once you join, wait about 1 minute and the unit will prompt you to update the software. From here it all down hill..
