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. |
When I saw your message, I know that you were on something because, indeed, it looks *very* related to my issue.
I had no FeatureSettings section in the conf file but adding it with FastWifi=false solved the issue.
Thanks a lot! That's very helpful.
So there's definitively a bug in the new FastWifi code. What is really surprising is that when their FastWifi fails, it should at least try to fallback to the normal code.
As I've not been the only one to hit this issue, it would be interesting to see if someone else could confirm that it fixes the issue for him too.And then consider this bug as confirmed with a known workaround.
Thanks again.
