I'm not sure if the OP is checking this thread but have they tried something as simple as increasing the "Private LAN" DHCP Lease Time to the maximum duration ? I would always suggest this when the Router didn't support DHCP Reservations.

I used to manage the IT Dept for a Firm with around 100 users and I would have to support issues like this one and something I noticed with some of the older routers was that when you disabled the "SSID Broadcast", the firmware would modify the wireless beacon timing and some other settings instead of just turning off SSID broadcast. Suddenly, devices could not connect to the access point no matter what. As soon as the SSID broadcast was re-enabled, everything was okay. This could be the reason why the Kobo isn't connecting; it may not be able to see the access point...
