Hi
I'm a noobi here, I have a kobo touch for xmas and am loving it! I do have one problem tho, I can connect to the internet via my android hotspot but not with the wireless router in our home.

It is a Netgear MR814v2 and I have 2 pc's a mac and my android phone connected.

I can add the network info (name, wep, and my 26 character code) and then the Kobo says connecting followed by sucess. But, it never leaves that screen!

I have checked the router settings and it sees the Kobo (I have compared the mac addresses) but I cant leave the network screen on the Kobo without cancelling the process so the connection never works.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Mike
