I have an iPhone and the Kindle Fire at the same spot in the house, a spot where the Fire often registers no connection, and the Fire actually shows an equal or stronger signal at the router. Yet the iPhone never loses the WiFi connection there, but the Fire does.

I have just turned up the transmit power on the router slightly, from the default to a little higher, to experiment whether this improves the reliability of the Fire's connectivity in the house. I'm pleased with the Fire; the WiFi issue has been the biggest drawback.
