Kindle3 wifi hack?

Junbin Peng · 06-20-2011, 03:31 AM

(English is not my native language, so please forgive me all my mistakes)

Do anyone know how to hack the Kindle3's wifi? In my local network ,I can't connect to the amazon's server,Amazon failed to register it properly on my network.(PS:I have register my kindle3 at other place through wifi)So each time I try to connect my K3 to my wireless router,it will says "unable to connect to the wifi network",no matter what way I try,it doesn't work out!

If the Kindle3 can't connect to the Amazon's server,I think it's ok,but I want to surf other website thought wifi. Anyone know what to do with this problem?
I mean how can I connect to my wireless router's wifi without connecting to the Amazon's server?

Thanks

That's hard to tell when we don't know anything about your local Wifi setup. Is it infrastructure ("managed") mode? Or is it ad-hoc mode based? What encryptions do you run? Is there a DHCP server issuing IPv4 addresses and are those allowed to connect to the internet without further setup? VPN software needed? What wifi channels does it operate on?

Thanks for your advice,but I'm sure my router configuration is right,because I have try all the config in my router. I'm in school now,but if I'm at home,I can easily connect to my wifi with the same router and same configuration. Maybe it's because my school forbid some website and server.And I also read this from:

The kindle often complains that it cannot connect to a WiFi network, but what this really means is that it cannot connect to amazon.com, and this blocks the browser even if local connectivity is available.
To make the system believe that the network is reachable (and let the browser work), you can issue the following command:

dbus-send --system /default com.lab126.wifid.cmConnected
and you will see the [Wi-Fi] icon turn on.
Unfortunately you need to do it every minute or so, because the daemon in charge of connectivity (wifid or probably the 3G equivalent as well) periodically tries to refresh the address and connect to amazon, and on failure it issues a

dbus-send --system /default com.lab126.wifid.cmNotconnected
event which blocks the browser again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
but I don't think it's a good method, I can't use the SCP to execute this command.
Maybe can solve this problem by changing the config file in the "/opt/amazon/ebook/config/"
