What is even more interesting is that if I go in the preferences and look for a network and try to connect to any network, including a new one :

1) It lists the available network (which proves that the wifi is still active)
2) It fails immediately on any network. It doesn't even try to connect. It fails as soon as I*clicked the network.
Do you mean it fails in the same way on any network/router you have tried? Or that you connected OK once on one network and then it failed when you tried the second without restarting the ereader?

Kobo have changed something recently to improve the speed of reconnecting. Something might be wrong with that. Try adding the following into your "Kobo eReader.conf":

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
FastWifi=false
You might already have a "FeatureSettings" section. If you do, just add the second line to that section.

If this does what I think it does, it should bypass the new code and use the long version each time. If it doesn't change things, change the value to "true" and try again. If either helps, we have a workaround and more detail that can be reported to Kobo.
