allisondbl · 02-27-2011, 04:04 AM

I'm trying to avoid update so want to connect my 'Kindle Wi-fi plus 3G' ONLY via 3G until they stop pushing update - want to connect as I do use browser.

Went to Menu/Settings/Wi-Fi settings but problem is that it will NOT let me change any Wi-Fi settings UNLESS I first connect to Wi-Fi which would, of course, defeat purpose - unless I can be sure I can change fast enough to avoid push download and I have no idea if I can.

So went to cafe so I could connect via 3G and did so, BUT when I go to available networks there, of course my home router does NOT show up so I can't remove its WEP key, assuming that one CAN remove a WEP which I have been unable to confirm is possible after I did my due diligence.

Any ideas girls and boys?

Thanks.
