I have the Kobo EReader with WiFi. I am trying to set it up for a friend. However, it will not connect with wireless. I have tried at home and at the office. Both times it does not find any networks. When I try to put in the network name and password it says it is unable to connect.
Today I received the following from Kobo support:

Please note that the Kobo Wireless eReader is unable to connect to WEP encrypted wireless networks. If your network is not WEP encrypted, the next step would be resetting the wireless router, and placing the eReader very close by to see if it connects.

I don't understand since you can select WEP when you are setting up the wireless.
