Since wifi success has been variable over the life of the Nook updates and differs widely between people, I just shrugged this off.

Yep, just noticed it a few minutes ago. Had no idea my wifi was off. I had absolutely no problems with wifi prior to updating. That was one of the reasons I blew off both updates. If it's not broke don't fix it. Don't know why they struggle to get this right. Both updates claim a fix for wifi, but they break what works.
Prior to having experienced this I was keeping my device from sleeping so that wifi would remain on for notifications and other stuff I need. Absolutely no adverse effect on battery life surprisingly. When I retire for the night I enable device sleep. I use SoftLocker.
