My nephew did something like this when he visited to connect his iphone. If I could do this how would I go about it? The Kindle ask for a Network name and a password. I think the password would be the WEP number on the routers bottom but what would be the network name?

Does your router actually have WiFi? If not, the Kindle isn't going to connect to it! If it doesn't, you need to buy a WiFi Access Point (they aren't expensive) and plug it in to one of the ports of your router. Alternatively, replace your router with one that has WiFi built in.
The password is most assuredly NOT the WEP number, by the way.
