User's choice on what firmware version, I haven't used any of those, mine is still on 5.6.something.
You might not have noticed, but when you first re-boot after one of these full image updates you could see a progress message on-screen about the bridge code executing.
Now your next step would be to find the post here with the Win10, Kindle driver attachment, install that (on your Windows box of course, not on the Kindle).
Then open and read again the instructions in the USBnetworking archive.
There are also Window's specific instructions posted here, somewhere.
Get everything working (including pub-key auth) over the USB cable first, before dealing with trying to access it via Wifi.
(The Kindle end of the USB cable and the Kindle end of the Wifi connection do not use the same IP address. That might have been part of your earlier problems.)
You do not need the 'root password' - the USB networking add-in takes care of all of that for you, at least if you follow the directions.
