Yes, You Can Hotspot a Kindle: Share 4G, 5G or Ethernet from Your PC

We love the Amazon Kindle. It’s amazing to have the world’s biggest bookstore at your fingertips. But, isn’t it frustrating when you’re traveling and you can’t get online to purchase that recently-released book that you’ve been dying to read?
With Connectify Hotspot installed on your Windows laptop, you can share your wired Ethernet connection as WiFi for free, and with PRO or MAX, a 4G or 5G USB modem, so Kindles and other mobile devices can get online, no matter where you are.

Start a Connectify Hotspot

  1. Download and install Connectify Hotspot on your 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC.
  2. Open it and choose Wi-Fi hotspot.
  3. Under Internet to share, pick the connection you want to share: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, a VPN or a phone plugged in with USB. With PRO, you can also pick a 4G or 5G modem.
  4. Set a password. Turn on Block ads if you want lighter pages on every device.
  5. Click Start hotspot. Devices join by scanning the QR code on the Hotspot screen, or with the network name and password, like any other Wi-Fi network.

  1. From the Home screen, press the Menu button
  2. Select Settings > Wi-Fi Networks

Wired in, Wi-Fi out

No router? Connectify Hotspot makes your Windows PC the router.

A Windows PC with a working connection already has everything a router has. Connectify Hotspot takes the connection coming in over the cable and hands out a Wi-Fi network your other devices can join.

Wired in Wi-Fi out

  • At the office

    A desk with a network port and no wireless you are allowed to join. The Windows PC on that port can put your phone on the same connection.

  • In a hotel room

    Older rooms still have an Ethernet socket behind the desk and little else. One cable covers everything you travelled with.

  • At home

    A modem with no Wi-Fi built in. The Windows PC already plugged into that modem can hand out a network to the rest of the house.
