Troubleshooting kindle issue or coincidence

odiakkoh · 07-06-2011, 05:38 PM

I have had my modem for 3yrs. We've been using the wifi on the ps3/wii and my droid with no issues ever. Since i got my kindle 3 weeks ago the wireless network keeps periodically disappearing. Is this a modem issue or could my kindle somehow be causing the hiccup? When the network is there everything connects just fine.

Is it the network not working on any device/PC or just the K3?

If it's any device I would change the channel you are broadcasting from. I had this happen to me a few times on my wireless network with our laptop and netbook. We get new neighbors are they just happen to broadcast on the same channel so ours no longer showed. I had to login to the router and to change the channel and the SSID to get it back.

If it just the K3 it could be a signal problem, the K3 doesn't like your router or something else someone here may know about.

Not working on all devices. I have no idea how to mess with the modem so I will make my husband read this when it gets home. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks
