Beware! Incoming wifi newfag!
K, so, Back in the days of wireless vulnerabilities, I completely abandoned the concept of wireless seeing as it was just too much trouble.

Now though, Things have changed, And I will be trading someone from LG some stuff for a kindle fire~ Now the question is. What the fuck is 8.02B and all this other shit?

Wi-Fi Connectivity Supports public and private Wi-Fi networks or hotspots that use 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, or enterprise networks with support for WEP, WPA and WPA2 security using password authentication; does not support connecting to ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) Wi-Fi networks.


and here is the router I am eyeing. (We use one at work, And I see it has preeeeety nice range)

Belkin N300 Wireless N Router - Walmart.com

So. I would like to upgrade to this and abandon my ancient technology.

Any of you have a suggestion for me or know if this will work?

they both say Wifi...But does that mean I have to get the specific bandwidth or anything complicated?

Since when have they had anything besides 802.11n? o.o These new-fangled machines be too much for my darn old brain.

Hm, idk. I have a linksys wrt54g. It works, it seems to be compatible with new wifi devices. I just plugged everything in, set up my encryption, and made sure the IP stuff was right and had wifi.
I put a custom firmware on it too just to make it all bitchin and such.
So that's what I suggest.

Kindle fires have CFW`s? Well well well! This may be a more enjoyable purchase than I anticipated.

./looks into it./

No man, the router. But I'm sure that kindles do have cfw. I think my friend has the old kindle and had put cfw on it.

Just found that the fires do have custom firmwares for rooting and accessing the android marketplace and android apps.

tottalllly going to root it when I get it.

C0ffin want kindle.

Get an 802.11n router. That's the newest band of wireless. The kindle will support it. The closer to A the slower and shorter the signal. Also, get one with Gigabit Ethernet. And lastly, when you get it protect it with a wpa2 key. Aes and psk. That should answer all your questions. If not ask.

Sorry for any typos. On my phone.
