Being a reader means being committed to reading at least one good book per month. Nowadays, we don\u2019t have to read hard copy books because we have smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. The only hard copy books that we might need to read are the ones we haven\u2019t digitalized yet.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Nook e-reader<\/span><\/a> offers people the possibility to read digitalized books, and it\u2019s a good substitute for hard copies. However, sometimes Nook won\u2019t connect to Wi-Fi, and we need to know why and how to fix it.<\/span><\/p>\n Some people still like the feel of hard copies and some just like the look of them. Plus, looking at your smartphone screen, laptop screen, or PC screen, for a longer time might have consequences on your eyesight.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most e-readers provide a strain-free reading experience. This is because their screens are not based on the same light spectrum as laptop or smartphone screens. Plus, they have longer battery life. There are four different Nook e-readers, and they have different specs:<\/span><\/p>\n There can be tons of reasons any device won\u2019t connect to your Wi-Fi<\/a>. These include incorrect settings, outdated devices, damaged devices, etc. However, we\u2019ve identified five main reasons your Nook won\u2019t connect:<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve identified five possible fixes for when your Nook won\u2019t connect to Wi-Fi. Of course, some of these are related to general troubleshooting steps when a device doesn\u2019t connect to Wi-Fi, but a couple of them are specific.<\/span><\/p>\n This fix covers two possible reasons your Nook won\u2019t connect to Wi-Fi. First, when someone intentionally blocks your MAC address, you need to <\/span>log into your router<\/span><\/a>. Once you log in, you need to find the MAC Filtering section and see if your device is in that section.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n The second case is when your router only emits the 5GHz frequency because it\u2019s preferred, you need to log in and enable the 2.4GHz frequency wireless radio in the settings. If it\u2019s not possible, you might need to get another router that supports 2.4 GHz, because most Nook e-readers support 2.4 GHz.<\/span><\/p>\n The next thing you can try to fix the issues is to reboot the Nook. Hold the power button for more than 7 seconds to turn your Nook e-reader off. Once you do that, you need to turn it on to see whether you have a Wi-Fi connection. You can also try disabling your Wi-Fi and enabling it to see if the connectivity issue was fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n To update the software on your Nook e-reader and fix the issue, you need to go to <\/span>Settings<\/b>. Once there, go to <\/span>Device Info<\/b>, and you\u2019ll see <\/span>About Your NOOK<\/b>. Tap on it to see your Nook\u2019s software version.<\/span><\/p>\n Check if other devices have the same issue. If it\u2019s the same with other devices, you might need to think about what\u2019s wrong with the router. The most common thing that happens is that the router isn\u2019t in a good location.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Make sure your router is located in a central area in your home<\/a>. Also, if you have more than one floor in your home, you need to place it in a higher position. The general recommendation is to place the router away from corners, other devices that emit radio frequencies, aquariums, and mirrors.<\/span><\/p>\n The Nook e-reader is a great choice for people that don\u2019t want a lot of hard copy books taking up the space on the shelves in their home. When Nook won\u2019t connect to Wi-Fi make sure that all the components of your network are working well.<\/span><\/p>\n If the issue persists, check for software updates for your Nook. Finally, when all else fails, try contacting customer support, they might have a solution for you. This is probably the best way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being a reader means being committed to reading at least one good book per month.
