What precautions to take when connecting your Kindle Fire to a network?
When we connect to a network there are certain factors to take into account . Whether we are going to watch a streaming series, want to download an App or simply look for a photo of a kitten, to have an optical browsing experience, it is always good to take the following points into account:
battery use
Amazon has offered us good quality batteries in its Kindle Fire devices, however, many times we will find that the battery is not enough for what we are doing , either because we have not fully charged it or simply due to excessive consumption of the battery. system.
If you think your Kindle Fire might be consuming power unnecessarily then you could set up a few things to save battery life a bit . Adjusting the brightness of the screen, stopping applications that run in the background, automatic synchronization or GPS can be some functions that are responsible for draining the battery.
Personally, we recommend you activate the energy saving mode, since this automatically stops the applications that run in the background as well as makes automatic synchronization not so frequent.
deactivation of airplane mode
You must bear in mind that in order to carry out any wireless connection, be it Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, you must have airplane mode deactivated. Airplane mode disables all wireless connections from our devices. This obviously poses a problem when connecting to a network, whether public or private.
To deactivate the airplane mode, slide the notification bar down , there you will find the symbol of the airplane mode function. If you have it activated then press the symbol to deactivate it. As simple as that!
navigation type
Amazon introduced accelerated cloud browsing with its Amazon Silk browser, which is exclusive to Kindle Fire devices. This allows users a better experience on the web although it could also demand more resources from the Tablet and the network to which you connect.
How to connect your Kindle Fire on a public network?
Connecting your Kindle Fire should not give you any complications . As long as you keep airplane mode turned off, the process will be quite simple. If you have a Tablet, remember that you can rely on the help of the official Amazon page.
There will be times when hotels will have their Wi-Fi networks open and others when they will keep them as private networks (with a password) in order to give customers exclusivity and maintain their security during the connection time . Whatever your case, keep reading.
network with password
To connect to a network with a password you will obviously need to obtain the password first , either from the owner of the network or, if you are on one, from the hotel staff. Then you must access the settings and follow the following steps:
- Go to the connections section and enter Wi-Fi
- Select the network you want to connect to
- enter password
- Press connect. And ready!
Once you have done this you will no longer have to bother entering the password every time you want to connect to that particular network, as the device will keep the password on record .
open internet
In case you want to connect to an open internet then the process will be much easier . In this case you do not require any type of password, just go to the settings and follow the next steps:
- Go to the connections section and enter Wi-Fi
- Select the network you want to connect to
- Press connect. And ready!
What are the problems when connecting to a public network?
Many times public networks can present certain problems, either because they do not have an active internet service, that is, they send the wireless signal, but said signal does not have an internet connection, or because they simply do not work as fast as we would like.
navigation speed
The browsing speed of a public network can be affected due to the large number of devices connected to that network and, at the same time, the radio spectrum found in the area. This spectrum, through which the data travels, becomes saturated and causes a failure in the speed of the network, which can be a headache for users.
data restriction
Many times public networks can be restricted , this is something that only the owner of the network can solve, since it has to do with the router settings. Restricted mode limits access to the Internet for users on a network, as well as allows you to control the hours that access is available to users.
A network could have access to the Internet from 7 am to 11 am and stop working thereafter . So if you cannot access the internet through a public network, it is very possible that that network is in restricted mode.
