Can't seem to access the wifi on the kobo. Every time I do it wants me to do the kobosetup.

So right now my Kobo has been factory reset back to the default settings. Like I said I couldn't connect with wifi so I'm using Calibre again. I downloaded Anne of Green Gables from kobobooks to my computer and added it to Calibre. I right click on it and send it to device. I click on the device icon and it shows up. Eject the device using Calibre and unplug the usb. I skip the set up again.... black book. No Anne. Factory restoring it again.

Tried it again with the other Kobo (#2) I have, sames steps, and no Anne there to. So factory restoring it and going back to the other kobo (#1) which is done restoring.

Trying Adobe. It authorizes the device. Anne is already in it's library so I drag it over to Kobo listed along the left. I click on Kobo and there it is with a picture of it's cover. Can't find an eject here so I eject it from the task bar. And unplug the usb, skip set up... and it's not there. Hook it back up and check it in Adobe and it's now missing it's cover when I open up the device. So factory reset it and check with the other Kobo.

It get's authorized. I drag Anne from the library to the device listed along the left. I then click on it and it already shows as a black book while still viewing it in Adobe. (I'm really hated this now). Eject, factory restore.

Tried it with 1st Kobo again and the book shows up black in Adobe now so I'm thinking the book is corrupted in Adobe. Delete it and re-add it. Try again with Kobo #2. Authorize, drag and drop, and it shows up fine this time, so I eject. Nope, doesn't show up at all on the kobo. Not even a black book. Reset.

Back to Kobo #1. Delete Anne from Adobe, readd it, connect the Kobo. Drag and drop. It shows up in Adobe under the Kobo. Unplug, skip setup and it's not there.

So to summerize. I can't access wifi unless I set it up using the kobo desktop. I downloaded a free book from kobobooks and it's saved on my computer. It won't add using Calibre or Adobe using either of the two Kobos I have. Kobo 1 is version 1.9.17 and has full power this whole time. Kobo 2 is version 1.9.6 and has half power.
