My kindle won’t connect to WiFi

"I have literally just resolved this by a full reset:

Have your Amazon login details ready.

In the settings menu on your Kindle, assign a password (anything will do, e.g. abcd - but remember it!).

Place the device in sleep (ie short press on power button), then press the power button to wake it. It will request the password.

Type in: resetmykindle

After a minute or two it will go through the factory reset process, including the WiFi set up and account details.

That's it! Go into your main Amazon account on a different device, find your books, check all you want and deliver to your kindle. Done!"

If you have tried restarting the device then a hard restart may help. This can be done by holding down the power button for a total of 40 seconds. You will note that the screen will go dark at 7 to 8 seconds but keep the power button held down until you reach at least 40 seconds. Once done, release and try to power on. If you still have troubles with the connection than I recommend trying to connect to the specific WiFi network with a different device. If neither of these work, please add a message so I can help some more. Hope this works!

"Follow some troubleshooting steps mentioned below:

Turn off the Wi-Fi connection option on your device and turn it back on.

2. Restart your Kindle/e-reader device. After turning it back ‘on’, try connecting with the wireless network. If still unable to connect, try the ‘forget network’ option and then rescan for your Wi-Fi network and try connecting.

3. Reboot the modem, if the Wi-Fi connection doesn’t show up, try scanning for available Wi-Fi networks. If it still doesn’t show up, add it manually under settings on your device and connect.

4. Check if your internet connection is working properly, in case it is not and if the problem doesn’t get solved by a ‘router reboot,’ contacting your internet provider will be a good idea.

Hopefully, this solves your problem. However, if the problem still persists, try resetting your e-reader to factory settings (this solves almost all problems). If still facing issues, contact a technical support service at 1–800–986–4764 to guide you through the troubleshooting process."

I tried all of these steps several times and it did not work. Eventually I discovered I was using the wrong password for the Router ( the instructions weren’t in English), so basically it was my mistake. I also tried setting up a separate WiFi on my PC but for some reason that wouldn’t work either.
