Kindle Fire: WiFi Problems Fixed, Cool Device!

By Bob Warfield on December 4, 2011

I wanted to follow up on my unhappy post about Kindle Fire.  When I first got the device, I couldn’t do anything with it because I couldn’t connect to WiFi. As a quick aside, having had side-by-side 3G and WiFi on my iPad, I really like having the 3G and frequently turn WiFi off.  I […]

Wait Before Buying a Kindle Fire: WiFi Problems

By Bob Warfield on November 28, 2011

Got my Kindle Fire a few days ago, eagerly anticipating a morning of shiny new object joy followed by a nice Thanksgiving dinner.  No joy.  My Kindle Fire will not connect to WiFi and it can’t do much of anything without it.

Your Own (Almost) Ad-Hoc HotSpot

Your Own (Almost) Ad-Hoc HotSpot

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2010

If you’re a frequent traveler, you’re likely better off buying a MiFi or using your late-model cell-phone’s HotSpot capability than paying those outrageous hotel surcharges.  If you’re a frequent conference-goer, you’ve already learned they all fail to provide reliable connection(Web 2.0, LeWeb, Gnomedex, Microsoft PDC, Google I/O, just to name a few recent examples), so […]

The Chaos of BYOW (Bring Your Own Wi-Fi)

By Zoli Erdos on June 15, 2010
