Hi everyone.
I'm new in this forum and using kindle as well. I bought an secondhand Kindle PW3 and I can't connect to WiFi, when I try to select the Wi-Fi network I get the message "No Wi-Fi networks were found" I tried everything: * Hard Reset * Factory Reset * Install the official update from Amazon (5.16.2.1.1) * Device Info: I have a MAC Address But I'm getting the same result, It's weird. Can be related to hardware issue? I was thinking about jailbreaking it and try to get more info with SSH, any suggestion? Thanks in advance |

The Kindle won't see 5ghz. What is your router broadcasting?

Also I tried using my phone as hotspot in 2.4GHz and with the channel between 1-11, no changes. No wi-fi networks are being listed. |

Silly question. Airplane mode is turned off?

My first guess would be airplane mode as already suggested by @Quoth, my second guess would be hardware (probably a lost cause if that's the case). |

For many years (always?) whenver an operation requiring wifi is attempted in airplane mode there is a pop-up asking whether to enable wifi / leave airplane mode.
USB networking is installed to and configured in the partition exported as USB mass storage. I use ssh to all my jailbroken kindles and have never used or even configured ssh to a kindle over wifi. |

SSH over USB or install a terminal app, whatever I can do to have a privileged user to see what is happening. I don't know if I'm missing something or I can try something before going to JB. |

Update: I did the jailbreak and run iwconfig, the result sucks.
lo no wireless extensions no basically it's not recognizing the integrated wireless card, I suppose that's nothing to do :/ |
