title_body: Kindle paperwhite loses the Wifi connection all the time I recently purchased an new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and I wanted to configure the Wifi.
  
  My Wifi router hides the SSID (it is not broadcasted) and I am able to connect the Kindle by entering the SSID by hand. 
  
  The problem occurs when I switch off the Kindle, after switching on again, the wifi connection is lost and I have to re-enter the wifi settings.
  
  Is is a known problem, or someone have a trick the Kindle to be able to stay connected after power down?
upvoted_answer: This appears to be a known issue with the Kindle Fire. I'm assuming it is also an issue for your model. I would suggest that you just broadcast your SSID. Most people report this is fixes the issue. If you are not broadcasting it for security reasons, that is what encryption and password are for. If someone wants to break into your network, hiding the SSID is not going to what stops them from getting in. There are many freely available programs that can detect non-broadcasting networks.
