Other devices work with my wifi. It can find the wifi, I try the wifi password, but i continually get those messages. It's actually been several months. It is my son's kindle. Please help....

Are there enough IP addresses set up on your router?
Is there a software update available for your Kindle?
Have you checked the Kindle website for someone else having the same issue?

Is this a Kindle e-reader or a Kindle Fire tablet? The e-readers need a critical update to connect to the Internet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201994710
