Sounds vaguely like the amount of time I get, too, judging by how long I can keep pinging the Glo from the router before it disconnects.
But unlike my other wireless devices, the router reports the Glo as receiving a static IP, like my desktops, rather than one assigned by DHCP. (And it is assigned an address within the router's DHCP range.) And lease expiration or router reboot causes a DIFFERENT "Static IP" to be assigned to the Glo. So I can't really do a bunch of Port Forwarding to a defined host. The Glo's "Static IP" is not static.

It's tricky to debug, getting a telnet console helps a lot. But for that you need at least wifi for a short while. Should you get it, you can kill nickle to stop it from disconnecting (and everything else) until a reboot.

Yeah, I'm out. I buy from the Kobo website because of indie bookstore loyalty, de-DRM, and put my titles on Dropbox. I just now have to tether to a desktop Dropbox host. [shrug]
It really used to work so beautifully.
Maybe next H/W gen.
