With the WiFi turned on, try some of the other OPDS catalogs like Feedbooks or Project Gutenberg.

It is sounding more like your Glo is not connecting to your router/wifi access point and the internet.

Nope, I can connect to internet. I can access other OPDS catalogs from KOReader, just not Calibre's. Also, I can download my content from Dropbox via Nickel browser, but I'd like something quicker.

I tried temporarily disabling router firewall and it didn't help. But it seems there really is something with rooter blocking local access and allowing internet access for my Kobo. Weird. I didn't find any other safety options that could be responsible for this on my router.
