Wireless

I have a WZR G300N router and have never needed a password for the computers in the house.  Now I am trying to set up a new Kindle and cannot without a password.  Any suggestions on where I could find said password, please?

The "key" is written on a sticker on the router itself.

Thanks for your reply.  The sticker on the router says the password is 'Blank'.  I tried this putting that into the Kindle (not that I thought it would work!) and it didn't work!  The Kindle is still asking for a password... 

[davo]

Ah sorry, i thought you were refering to a different router. The password would of been set by yourself or whoever setup the router. To change it do the following:

#1. Connect your PC or Laptop via an Ethernet Cable into one of the LAN ports located at the back of the Buffalo Router.

#2. Open Internet Explorer and enter the following address, 192.168.11.1 and press enter, you will then receive a request for a username and password, please enter root as the username , leave the password blank and click ok

#3. Once logged into the router select Wireless Config -> Security

#4. Set the Authentication to WPA PSK and the Encryption to TKIP

#5. Where it says "Pre Shared key" enter a new wireless password (minimum 8 characters in length) and click Apply -> Apply and wait 2 minutes.

The Pre shared key you entered will be your new password and this would need to be entered on all devices wanting to connect to the wireless network.

Amazon's third generation Kindle is an extraordinary bit of kit whose users genuinely love it - but the chances are you'd love it even more if you knew some of the better tricks it's got up its sleeve. From hidden games to reading books aloud, your Kindle is capable of all kinds of clever things. These are our favourites.

2. Play Minesweeper or GoMoku

Amazon has hidden a archetype of Minesweeper in your Kindle, and you can barrage it by acute Alt, Shift and M simultaneously. Use the arrow keys to cross and the baddest button to mark a mine, and if you get fed up columnist G to play GoMoku, a adaptation of Tic-Tac-Toe.

3. Get active directions

If you bookmark maps.google.com/m/directions in your Kindle's web browser, you can use it to get biking admonition if you anytime get lost. This is decidedly advantageous in the 3G model, which can get online anywhere there's a 3G adaptable buzz signal. Your Blaze can affectation Google Maps too, but the text-only adaptation is faster to use.

4. Email things to it

6. Forward the Web to your Kindle

If you assurance up for the chargeless Instapaper account and install the bookmarklet in your browser, you can forward any web page to Instapaper so that you can apprehend it after - and if you accord Instapaper your Kindle's email address, you can automatically accept a circadian abstract of the articles. Download it over Wi-Fi, though: 3G downloads amount 20p per MB.

7. Don't pay for certificate emails

Your Blaze in fact has two email addresses: username@kindle.com, and username@free.kindle.com. If you've got a 3G archetypal and you're emailing abstracts to it, use the free.kindle.com address: Amazon will not try to bear those letters via 3G, which would amount you money.

8. Apprehend RSS feeds

Google Reader works in your Blaze browser. For best after-effects log in, bang on All Items and again columnist F to access Full Awning mode. You can now move amid online writing by acute J and K.

Shift-Sym again starts and stops the account affection and the amplitude bar pauses and resumes.

11. Look up big words

Not abiding what something means? Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to it and a concordance analogue ancestor up.
