Kondle hijacked by BTOpemzone.

Hi,

I have a Kindle HD 8.9. Sometimes when I switch on it connects to my PlusNet router and works satisfactorily. However, at other times (and this is becoming more frequent) the screen is "taken over" by a screen inviting me to connect to BT Openzone which of course (not having a password) I cannot do. I can usually handle this by tapping "Wireless" and re-selecting my PlusNet connection. However, quite often after doing this the Kindle still does not work and in fact today it became quite unusable. Obviously, this is a very unsatisfactory situation.

 

Also other odd things are happening such as a website going off while I am in the middle of looking at it or changing a page, and being told a website is unavailable and finding it available when I again search for it I suspect that these occurrences may be caused .by whatever is doing the hijacking which I believe may be a BTOpenzone router that has been installed nearby.

 

Do you have any suggestions for a solution to this situation?

 

Best wishes,

 

PETER

Hi Peter,

 

I don't have an answer, but I just wanted to say that similar things have been happening to me, too, except on my smart phone. I do what you do and don't even touch it and disable and then enable the wireless again. It usually goes away and I haven't not been able to use the internet because of it. It is definitely very annoying though. So yes, any insight on this would be fantastic.
