Can you connect other devices to your wifi using the same password?
If so, it is the Kindle at fault.
Go to your wifi connections in Settings and remove your connection (I think it may say "forget").
Turn off your Kindle by holding down the power button for a full 30 seconds.
Restart your Kindle and connect to wifi, re-entering the password on the back of your router.
Your kindle has a sim card installed for 3G (lifetime licence paid by amazon and paid for on purchase price on the unit) but that is not related to the wi-fi function on your kindle. Your wi-fi service needs to be logged in to with the same password as you use to log any computer on to your router when at home or whatever wi-fi password is required when elsewhere (e.g a bus, train or restaurant).
The Kindle uses a standard 802.11b/g/n card, so the format is universal. Maybe the WiFi card is turned off? Remember, you have to make sure the Kindle is out of Airplane Mode AND the WiFi Card needs to be ON. If you can not connect to a major carrier at Starbuks, Peet's Coffee or any major coffee house then the issue has to be sometime on the Kindle is OFF. Did you install a battery saving package that may be intercepting the wireless connection? Just a few ideas.
Your router can also be configured for a B or G operation, and may have the option of a second SSID (network name) for the B and G bandwidths. Check the manual for how to set up a second SSID for B/G operation.
The Kindle connects to WiFi networks supporting standards 802.11b and g. If your router is configured to use 802.11n exclusively, the Kindle cannot establish a connection. However, you should be able set up your router to "mixed" mode or "b+g+n operation".
The exact procedure and naming of the option depends on your router's model name. If you cannot figure it out yourself, feel free to add a comment to this solution, providing the model name and version of your LinkSys router, and I'll probably be able to give you further advice. I
