JD, I think you mean that the Kobo Touch doesn't support WPA Enterprise security. I have connected mine to 4 WPA networks. As a matter of fact, I just checked the network here at work and googled "KOBO".

I have noticed with my Kobo Touch that it is easily blocked. My Wi Fi at home is about 6 feet away from my computer but behind my LCD monitor. If I hold it normally and try to connect I have problems, if I hold it higher than the monitor, everything works find. Note, I can use it in a normal position AFTER I have connected.
