If your wireless network is separate from the wired, it's possible the desktop app won't be able to see the kobo's broadcast message.
I don't believe the desktop app is involved. Neither is your computer.

You can shut your computer completely off and just have your wireless router turned on and the Kobo will connect to the network and the Store just fine. The wireless router is the network.
