I'm not willing to severely weaken the security of my wifi network by going back to WEP.
While WPA/WPA2 is also vulnerable, it's not nearly as much so as WEP. If I have to wait for a future firmware update to truly support WPA, then that's what I'll do and the T1 will be only a little better than my own PRS-650 in the mean time with regard to features.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear in my OP. I only do static IP's, no DHCP for me. :-)

I've seen this work by shutting down wifi nodes overnight (e.g. laptops, game consoles, etc.), and then the next morning it automagically works. I'll try unplugging the router when I go to bed in a bit and plug it back in in the morning. See if that helps. Will let you know tomorrow.
As for virus', trojans, malware, being vulnerable, etc., it's a network node and from what I've seen, doesn't have any type of anti-virus/firewall, etc., so it is reasonable to assume it is vulnerable to these types of things. If they can hack cell phones, printers, etc., then this doesn't seem like a stretch for them to get into your network via your reader, then pivot and get to your other systems. That's a topic for a different thread, though, and a more general one not specific to a particular reader or brand of reader.
Thanks to everyone for their ideas and posts, I really do appreciate them and if I've come off sounding condescending, my apologies, that's not my intent. If there are more ideas, please feel free to post them.
Thanks,
