I notice lately when using my K3 the internet takes forever or is slow when using WiFi to download something.

I'm starting to wonder if it's something to do with my Router.

Example: I'm on Dropbox trying to download a file and it seems to just be stuck in limbo waiting for the Download Mobi yes/no popup or I get the can't open this page error and have to reboot the K3 to fix it. If I switch to 3G then retry it downloads no problem.

None of my other wireless devices have issues like this. It's mainly with Dropbox. I usually have to reboot the Kindle to fix the issue.
Any ideas?

Is there anything I can do to make my Router and my K3 play nicer together?
