If both your Kindle and your "large" computer are accessing the router via wireless (your "large" computer is also wireless rather than wired) - -
Your router may be optioned to dis-allow wifi-to-wifi connections.

Also, your router will have an address, don't stumble onto that one, you can't duplicate the usage of an address, the addresses must be unique.

Web-search: "Linux home networking" (even if your "large" computer isn't Linux, your kindle is and networking is networking).
Decades of documentation and HowTos out there on this subject.
