Has anyone had a problem with setting up a Kindle Fire. My Kindle Fire will connect
to the internet but when I try to download a book from Amazon it won't download unless
I go to a public wifi spot. I have called Amazon support and Verizon support. No one has
been able to resolve this issue.

Are you able to actually browse the Internet on the Kindle Fire, or are you simply stating that it will connect to the wireless and pull an address, so it is connected?

no, my son-in-law suggested I change my router from WEP to WPA.
The Fire wouldn't download on his wifi either' he also has Verizon.

I'm not sure if this would help any, but try toggling the Firewall off on the FiOS router. Visit http://192.168.1.1/ and click on Firewall Settings at the top of the page. See if you can set it to No Security, or Low security if it's set to anything higher. I don't know if the Kindle downloads data over HTTP or another port/protocol off of the top of my head, but it's worth a try.

If the key on the router is hard to read, you can also get the key by logging into the router itself. Go to http://192.168.1.1/ and log into the router using the username of admin. The password to the router is typically the serial number of the router (CASE SENSITIVE!) or it will be individually printed on the router's sticker. From there, click Wireless Settings in the top navigation. This will print the key for you.
