They might just not like each other. I know Macs often don't like linksys... But it could also be one of the things davidfor mentioned.
The router is set to allocate IP addresses to the devices that make contact with it. Those IP addresses come out of a set range, say from 192.168.254.10 to 192.168.254.40. If that range is smaller than the number of devices you have that connect, you'll run out of IP addresses to give out, and the newest device won't be able to connect. Usually the range is wide enough, but if you're a family of 6 with 6 smartphones and 6 laptops and 6 iPod touches and 5 ereaders etc then the 6th ereader might not fit... You can manually change the range inside the router.
OK this is not my problem... IP range is large enougth for all my devices.

Ap is cisco (not linksys). It is generally used in enterprise networks.

I think that the problem is not my ereader but all "kobo ereaders" that have a firmware that don't manage correctly wifi connection.
