Connect to Wi-Fi
Connect to a Wi-Fi network to buy, stream, or download content from the Cloud, or sync to receive items.
Your Fire phone automatically detects nearby Wi-Fi networks and wireless hotspots that broadcast their
network name. Some networks are open for everyone to join, while others require a password to connect.
You can connect your phone to your home Wi-Fi network, public Wi-Fi networks, and some enterprise
private networks.
1. From the Quick Actions panel, press and hold the Wi-Fi icon.
2. Next to Wi-Fi, tap On.
3. Tap a network to connect to it. If you see a lock icon besides the network name, a network password is
required. Enter the Wi-Fi network password, and then tap OK.
Note: If you don't know the password, check with the person who set up the network. This password is not your
Amazon account password.
After you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your phone automatically connects to the network again when it's in
range. If more than one network is in range, your phone automatically connects to the last network used.
