Trouble with Wifi
Is anyone else experiencing the problem of connecting with wifi today? I was able to connect yesterday today I cant. I did make sure that my router was reset and working correctly. Firmware 2.6.1b
Just wondered if anyone else had an issue? regards Jack |

I seldom connect my Kobo but I did this afternoon and had no problems getting on, and it actually completed sync. Although it's currently frozen LOL. I guess I'll have to restart it.

Did you try any other devices, are they connecting to your wifi?
I had to do a pin hole reset....the only reason I wanted to sync was in hopes of getting the new firmware. No idea if that came over or not, yet, as it's restarting, or frozen again, so maybe it's updating or something. |

WiFi issue resolved, Not a Kobo bug!

Well I got a frozen device. Darn it. I swear I will never turn the wifi on again. I mean it, this time!

This was the first time I got a completed sync. It finally finished whatever it was doing...and it's still 2.6.1. Grrr.

There were issues with sync and 2.6.1; something would cause nickel (the main application on the Kobo) to crash during the sync procedure. This has been resolved with 2.8.1.

No 2.8.1 here yet either! I'm waiting for someone to catch the firmware and post it...

Same here. I wish Kobo would just provide direct download links. Lame.

Well, not necessarily. They don't support or recommend sideloading firmware, and there can be small differences between devices that mean loading the wrong firmware could be a disaster. If they provided the download links, they'd probably be expected to support them. Sure, there are disclaimers and potential ways around it, but how watertight that is legally is anyone's guess.
