I grabbed an old router, a Siemens Speedstream, and set it to be completely open. It's only capable of 802.11b.

My XP tablet connected instantly. Not so the Kobo. The Kobo detected it, but steadfastly refused to connect.

So, then I tried setting the SpeedStream so that only certain MAC address would be allowed, and by alternately remiving and adding the MAC address of the XP Tablet, found that this function worked nicely.

The Kobo continued to ignore all my attempts to make it happy.

It's getting frustrating.
