So my Kobo worked nicely for a month. Classic... now, just slightly past its return period, and it screws up. I have tried hard resets, etc. Firmware is up to date, AFAIK.

Here's the problem: WiFi is enabled but it no longer automatically re-connects to my home network, which it "knew" yesterday. Okay, I look its known networks. Empty. Again.

So I select my home network *again* and painfully re-enter my long WPA password. It connects. Great. Syncs up with Pocket or whatever.

Later that day... forgotten. Rinse, lather, repeat. Often multiple times per day.

So frustratating. Anyone else experiencing this or have a suggestion? I have emailed Kobo Customer Care and I'll post if they suggest anything helpful.
