Ensure Wireless Networking switch is in the on position.
A list of networks will appear. You may have to wait a moment as your Kindle detects networks in range. If
your network doesn't appear tap the box next to Wireless Networking off and on to refresh the list.
Tap the name of the network you wish to connect to from the list of available networks. If on-campus, select
GuestNet.
If a lock symbol appears next to your network, it requires a password. Enter the characters of the password

Once you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, Kindle Fire automatically connects to it again whenever that

connects to the network that was most recently used.
