Kindle DX weak wireless connection vs Kindle 2

Bluetrue · 07-01-2009, 11:14 PM

I have a Kindle DX and a Kindle 2. I noticed that I get 4 bars for the wireless signal strength on the 2 but usually only 1 bar on the DX. I also had a Kindle 1, which I recently sold, and that also had 4 bars. Has anyone else had this problem? I am wondering if there is something wrong with my DX.

My DX is on part with my K2's wireless, both show full service. I dont' live near any dead zones though so I can't help you with testing non-ideal conditions. I'm very interested though.

I've not noticed any difference in Whispernet strength on my DX - I suggest calling Customer Service about it - but be aware there are no replacement DX's available until August. So if you can live with it until then, you might want to delay returning it.
