You have to restart the router also, if the problem originated there.

The bell software manages the modem aNd the security. If I type in http://mynetwork, or input my location # I'm directed to the sAme thing. I have 3 pc's and they all do the same thing. I didn't load any software that I recall.
Forgive my ignorance. I use cable modem, which is simply hardware
and has no software part to work. My best bet is that you call web
server on the modem, like webmin. If so, you could count it as a piece
of hardware, you should not blame for the problem.

I have no intention of buying a new modem just because I can't get the kobo to work when it works fine on every one of my other devices.
This is helping forum and we all try to help you. I assure you that I could
find manual for your router and read it. The point is that it is not "power
up and use" issue. To have it all working correctly, it should be configured
properly. Some other posters already confirmed they used that kind of
encryption. Another ones confirmed the reader behaved strange and they
solved it after factory default. What was left is the router. I could try to
assist you on irc or in private message, but don't assume no effort on your
side. I previously led you to the most frequent spots to look at on the
encryption troubleshooting. It is still not sure if it is encryption problem,
since you did not connect without encryption. What I stressed was to
reboot all devices. You have to remove arp cashe to start from the
very beginning. Finally, you are right you don't want new router. If I would
have 3 pc-s and 5 more wifi devices connected to, I'd have the best router
to fulfill the task, in a price range that is not insane.
To conclude, I don't see at which point you fail to connect kobo ereader
to wireless network.
