Connecting a Kindle to my laptop to download/read books
« on: August 01, 2023, 12:05:11 am »
Ok,I asked how to do this on a thread whose title I have forgotten,so I am going to start a dedicated thread to see where I went wrong. I think even I will be able to find it if you  ping me to your answers.

Damn chemo-brain!

Here is what I got off the bottom of my  modem:

 WPA2-AES

 Key phrase:

 WPS PIN:

 Admin Password:

 Serial number:

I have copied and pasted each  one (with no blank spaces,of course) to my Kindle,and still can't get it working.

What am I missing?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"Bottom of your modem" implies your ISP's modem/gateway, so that username/password is used to log into the modem as the "admin"...(something like the address "192.168.1.1" in your browser). Your Wi-Fi network has a different username/password...set up by you or the ISP's installer (username = your pet's name?? You car model?? Wife's nickname?? Who knows?  :pondering: )  Your Wi-Fi network name is pretty easy to find...look for the list of nearby Wi-Fi networks on your cell phone or tablet/iPad or computer. Password not so easy to determine...try a few of your favs.  Last resort: hard "reset" of your ISP's modem/gateway and use the modem's default Wi-Fi username/password.
