Make Sure Your Kindle Is Connected to WiFi or Cellular Data

When your Kindle is connected to your Wi-Fi network you will see a little Wi-Fi symbol in the top-right of your screen. For Kindles with cellular data, there’s also a 3G or 4G symbol.

If you don’t see one, or you see an Airplane symbol instead, your Kindle isn’t connected to the internet.

If you see an Airplane symbol it means your Kindle is in Airplane mode. Tap the arrow at the top of the screen to open the menu.

Then tap the Airplane icon to turn it off. This will allow your Kindle to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

Otherwise, tap the arrow at the top of the screen to open the menu then tap “All Settings” to open the Settings menu.

Next, tap “Wi-Fi & Bluetooth” then “Wi-Fi Networks” to see a list of all the available Wi-Fi networks.

If you don’t see your Wi-Fi network, restart your router. Otherwise, select the network you want to connect to and, if you need to, enter the Wi-Fi password.
