WiFi Keeps Turning off when Vox Sleeps

pokee · 10-30-2011, 08:23 PM

I originally set up the Vox to sleep after 1 minute of inactivity. Now it seems everytime it sleeps, the WiFi signal drops. Sometimes this happens in the middle of downloads (which it shouldn't, should it?!). Sometimes it gets picked back up after coming out of sleep mode, sometimes it turns itself off. Anyone else have this issue?

Also - anyone else know how to change the sleep time again, without going through setup again?

I noticed that mine does that too. It is to save battery while in sleep. It does reconnect automatically when it comes back up or it does for me anywaays.

To change the screen turning off go to setup - display - Screen timeout.

It normal,
Go in the wireless and network settings
Than Wi-Fi settings
Than click on the middle button (at the bottom, the kobo button)
Than Advanced
And the first option is what you are looking for.
