 Can't connect Kindle Paperwhite to Wi-Fi - Ambo
The wife and I share a BT Home Hub connection, registered and billed to me but used by her on
her own PC and iPad, also by visiting grandchildren for their devices. As most such devices, I assume, the Hub had three numbers, Wireless SSID, Wireless key and Admin password.
I use the service for my PC and an older model Kindle.

However, I bought my wife a current Kindle Paperwhite and have just spent two hours failing to make it connect to Wi-Fi. Using the Kindle's screen commands it accepts my SSID but then asks for what it calls a "password". I presumed this meant the Wireless key number but neither its number nor the Admin password are accepted. There is no indication of what other "password" there might be.

What could be wrong? Her PC was switched on at the time; could that have blocked access?
(I can't recall if mine was.)
