I stopped by a Best Buy and unfortunately the fire tablets were hard-locked into a “demo mode”. I almost thought again maybe it was user error when I checked out another 7” tablet – if held horizontally (the 802.1x) manual option is completely hidden (screen shot below) – at least at that point I would have started evaluating data rates/bands etc for why auto-scans weren’t working. Back to the drawing board for me though.
Ian – If you host the certificate on a web share and navigate to the full path of the certificate in a browser on the Fire tablet, newer Android devices tend to recognize the file type and prompt whether you want to install the certificate. That might be worth a try if haven’t already.

Our support center contacted me in regards to an issue with connecting to our secure network (they were only able to see our “open network”) which matches with our some newer devices will not even display networks that they are unable to connect to – such as WPA2 Enterprise. I had suggested that they attempt to manually create the profile and was disappointed when they confirmed that “802.1x” was no longer an option on the list of security types. That’s unfortunate that their earlier generations had support, and it appears to have been removed. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen one, so no idea which generation this occurred (Fire 7 is their 7th generation). I just know the 1st and 2nd generation could connect since I got to be the one to figure it out all those years ago.
