The PC connects directly (Ethernet cable) and the Kindles connect via Wifi. Checked the Wifi and it's solid--not delays/hangups using the Kindles for other on-line aps. Wifi BBO worked well all day except for around 6:30 PM Central USA time--the game hung up, but after switching to Ethernet PC, the game resumed normally. I just played 10 hands using Wifi/Kindle and there were very few minor delays. Has BBO changed any settings or hardware? If not, I'll contact Amazon/Kindle for troubleshooting. Thanks, Rat
