From:Did they mean 'channel' by any chance? Depending on how many people in your area have/use wireless routers, that might help. I've had to flip around before to get a clear signal before I switched form g to n wireless standard, which gave me a lot more empty channels to use.
Depending on our router, there's a page with wireless settings and it will have a box/dropdown for Channel that will probably say Automatic and you cna change that.
An easy way to find out if your wireless has heavy interference is this:
http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
You download it on your computer with a wireless connection and then open it once it's installed and I think click Scan. Then it will show a list of all the routers in your area that are taking up bandwidth at the top of the page (note: could be a lot). Find yours by the name it uses when you see it on your computer to connect to it on the top of the page, then use the color code to find it in the graph below. If it's covered up with a lot of differnet other colored lines, that means that the channel it is on is heavily used. See if there's a channel with fewer lines on it on the graph (example; on the insssider page at the bottom is a screenshot. One through 3 have a lot of lines all overlapping each other heavily, but later numbers have less to none; you like the ones with less to none) switch to that number on your router and see if that helps.
It could also be that a wireless computer in your home is using a ton of bandwidth and so the Kindle doesn't have any, but example, I run a server in the house and it's happened maybe once while I was reallllly experimental, so unless someone is logging in and stealing your bandwidth for torrent downloading, probably not that.
Does that make sense? If you want to try it, depending on your router brand, I can walk you through the steps. I know this looks complicated, but it's mostly just a lot of stuff to look at, note, and then make a change. A logic problem, if you will.
