Newly acquired kindle PW2 won't automatically reconnect to wifi
Hi all,

I just picked up a second hand PW2(which looks brand new, hardly used.) I have updated it to the latest firmware available which appears to be 5.8.2. Everything is working great but the device doesn't seem to reconnect to my previously setup wifi networks(work, home, and cell phone hotspot.) I have to go in to wifi settings to get it to reconnect. As soon as I open wifi networks it will then connect without my intervention. I assume this is not the normal behaviour as it is rather annoying(to me.) Unfortunately I pretty much updated the firmware before I noticed this behaviour so not sure if it was doing the same on the previous version. Anyone experienced this before? Is there simply a menu setting I am missing. Airplane mode is always OFF fwiw.

Thanks,

Kevin
