The different routers and reserving an address might explain a lot. Kobo mentioned a change to make reconnects faster. It might be that before 3.0.0, it renewed the DHCP lease everytime it connected. If they changed it to assume the last IP was still valid, then there might be problems. Different routers handle DHCP differently. Some will give the same address out to a device even if it is not reserved. But, some seem to always give out a new address.

I wonder how the length of the DHCP lease affects this? Maybe the device is not renewing it when it should.
