I received a Kobo Aura on Monday and I have the same wifi issue as ploum, sds910 and erikssenmar867. The kobo can connect only once to the wifi; once the connection is lost, kobo can't connect again unless I reboot it. Sync fails quite quickly (under 10 seconds) and the wifi icon only makes a brief appearance and is greyed out.

When manually trying to connect to wifi, the kobo finds the network when scanning but can't connect to it.

Factory reset of the kobo or the router does not solve the problem. Adding the string suggested by davidfor doesn't either.

The Kobo is on firmware 3.10 (automatically updates to 3.10 after factory reset) and the wifi network uses WPA2 authentication (the router is from my ISP). Of course, none of the other devices connected to the wifi (laptops and PS Vita) suffers from a similar issue. I tried other networks and the issue occured on all of them (but they all used WPA/WPA2 authentication, I'll try to test a public hotspot tomorrow).
