ploum: Do you have access to the WiFi router? Can you check whether it has the Glo as a client? And whether an IP address has been given to the device?

The reason for the check is to see where it is going wrong. When they connect, the Kobo ereaders will attempt to fetch a URL. If that fails, they will close the connection. I have seen failures to connect in the past and when I looked, the router had the connections from the device, so it was the fetch that failed.

It might also be worthwhile restarting the router to check that it isn't something there that is causing the problem. Or checking the DHCP allocation to make sure there are enough addresses available. Or trying with another router. Testing at work or on someone else's network would eliminate anything in your usual network as a factor.
