Hi ploum,
I bought a Kobo Glo yesterday and think that it has the same issue as yours. However, the device did not freeze on me up to now, but any action requiring internet access after the initial connection is lost just aborts with a "there was a problem...." message.
All wifi networks that I could test up to now where WPA2 with CCMP/AES encryption ("fritz!box 7240 home router and android tethering), and I would like to keep it that way.
Do you know which kind of wifi protection your networks were using? The one that worked and the one that didn't.
If I don't get the unit to work during this evening, I'll try to get a new one tomorrow...
Thanks for reporting your problem! I hate this kind of "soft errors" that first work. Its really hard to search for them with google etc.
Best

Update 1: Reducing the wifi security to WPA with TKIP did *not* help. Same problem: Wifi connects, send device to sleep, wake it up, wifi does not work
Update 2: sadly the "FastWifi=false" from DavidFor did also not work. First, I thought that it changes the behaviour, because the Glo still had wifi after awaking it, but maybe I just waited less time before turning it on again. A second try resulted in the original problem.
Update 3: Last try was rebooting the router. Also to no avail. The router log shows that it actually connects to and disconnects from the wifi, 2 times in short repetition, before failing. The log shows no details about the authentication outcome, though. Let's see if I get a new unit tomorrow at the store...
