We had some issues with loading books on a kindle 3 - Wi-Fi (it would allow us to select books and download, but they wouldn't finish downloading)  I ended up getting books after
hooking up kindle to my PC.   We still need to fix that, but first things first.  My wife was playing with Wi-Fi settings and selected to "forget" our current wi-fi. Now, we can't get it set back up.                                            When I try it gives me the message "Your Kindle is unable to connect to the wi-fi network.  I put in a wrong password and it gave me a message that password is wrong, so when I am normally trying, it is connecting.  Any ideas?                                                                                                                                Rob

We still need to fix that, but first things first.  My wife was playing with Wi-Fi settings and selected to "forget" our current wi-fi.

You should be able to reconnect just as you did in the first place:


I'm assuming you know the SSID or network name for your network: here I'm going to call this the network name.
You also need to know your password or WPA Key. I'm going to call this the password.

Now do the following:

1) On the Kindle, Press Home, then Menu. From the menu pick settings.
2) In the Settings screen, go down to WiFi settings and pick "View". It might ask you to turn wireless on, pick OK.
3) After a few moments, it should list WiFi networks it's found. Look for the one that has the same name you've noted down for your network name. Select "Connect" next to this one.
4) It will then ask you to enter the WiFi password. Here you need to type in the password you noted above. Depending upon the type of Kindle you've got you either use the keyboard on it or the on-screen keyboard. check for capital/small letters, numbers, punctuation marks, make sure you don't get numbers and letters mixed up (I/1, 0/O etc), and look at each character as you enter it. Each character appears as you type it, then turns to a dot as you type the next one (so somebody watching can't read it easily). When you've entered it all press "Submit".

Hopefully that should be all that's needed, in a moment or two you should see "WiFi" and a signal strength bar at the top-right of the screen.

If this doesn't work, please let us know exactly where it goes wrong - do you not see your network listed, is it listed but your password is not accepted, or is something else going wrong?

I see the network and it has a very strong signal.  I have tried every setting on the Network info screen, with a connection type of DHCP.  I am sure it is not password, because, an invalid one gives me a different message

Oops, I replied to your partial post, just as you were editing it so my advice above doesn't really make sense!

Having said that, you might want to step through it just to make sure, otherwise I'd be checking carefully if anything has changed on your router since you last had it connecting OK - is it a new router? Have any of the settings been changed?

Typically the error you get is caused by an odd setting on the router eg a Wireless N router which has wireless-G mode disabled.

Have you got MAC address filtering enabled?

Try restarting the Kindle and the router, that can sometimes help.
