Connecting to Wi-Drive over Wireless
Wi-Drive is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks Kindle Fire tablet, you will
see ‘Wi-Drive’ in the list of available networks to join. By default, there is no password. When you connect to it
from your tablet, you are establishing a dedicated link to Wi-Drive over that wireless signal. Once you connect to
Wi-Drive, you will substitute your tablet’s Internet connection with Wi-Drive’s wireless connection. This means
you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, Wi-Drive does provide a bridging function that allows
you to maintain access to Wi-Drive’s content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet connection. See Network
Connections on page 10.
