I tried it before upgrading the firmware and after.
From your posts, that's what I thought was happening. One thing that hasn't been suggested is to turn logging on on the device. Add the following lines into the "Kobo Reader.conf" file:

Code:
[DeveloperSettings]
EnableDebugServices=true
Then restart the device and try to connect. After that, connect to the computer and post the log. The log is in the .kobo directory and will have a name starting with "syslog-" followed by a timestamp. If we are lucky, we'll be able to tell what is going on. And remove the above statements from the config file. They have a tendency to prevent the device from sleeping and hence the device uses a lot more battery.

Other than that, until you can test on another WiFi network, I can't think of anything. But, I'm tending to think the device is faulty. If this is new, I'd return it. If you got it from someone else, I'd ask if they were having problems with it.
