Good! Saves the hassle of getting a hub!

It doesn't seem to be restricted to your Kindle and Amazon are apparently already testing a newer revision of the firmware so I wouldn't worry about the crashes yet.

Is your WiFi set to channel 13 on the router? Channel 13 which doesn't exist in the US and is locked out because it isn't legal to use. US designed/made devices sometimes don't have the option of changing your WiFi region which prevents the use of channel 13 and it will appear to not see your WiFi network at all.

Any MAC address filtering options enabled on the router?
