Why does my Kindle keep disconnecting from WiFi?

If the problem persists, then you may have a damaged wireless board that needs to be replaced, or you have to contact your internet service provider for further troubleshooting.

Why does my Kindle WiFi have an exclamation point?

The exclamation mark at the Wifi symbol means that the device is connected to the WLAN but no connection to the internet. First I would recommend to turn off and the on the Wifi on the device. The tablet remains surfing without restrictions on Internet despite saying "Connected, No Internet".
