Device: nook simple touch
connected to home wi-fi, but no internet

Greetings -

Picked up a simple touch a couple of weeks ago prior to a weekend getaway.
Charged it. Registered it at the local 'bucks & downloaded a book.
Downloaded another book at the airport prior to the flight home.

So it seems to be working ... BUT I can't sync / buy / download at home.
The nook 'sees' my wifi network, and connects, but can't get to the internet.
(This is the same wireless internet connection that successfully feeds
my son's mac laptop and my Win7 dekstop PC.)

Hookup is via a Comcast/Xfinity cable modem to a NETGEAR wireless router
(WNR2000, I believe).

Corresponded with B&N -- their tech support was polite, but not at all helpful.

Anyone else have this (or a similar) problem & solve it?
Or have success with Comcast/Xfinity at home using this (or a different) router?

Thanks kindly,

- Richard
