Not sure if this is the best thread, just catching up, but since it's definitely concerning the KA1 and the pool of fellow users is still small, I figure this one should be OK.

I have a weird and very basic issue: my KA1 does not seem to be able to RE-connect to HIDDEN WiFi networks.

I'm on 4.0.7523, as installed automatically OTA after the initial setup. I add a network through "Join a WiFi network" => "Add network", it works fine. After a while WiFi will disconnect (or when I put the KA1 to sleep), next time I turn it on, it's not able to reconnect, it ends up showing the basic scanned/visible networks window. The only way to reconnect to the same hidden network is to re-enter all the info which gets annoying fast. I tried a couple of different locations (home & office), same result.

At the same time, all other devices reconnect just fine every time, including my good old Kobo Aura HD (firmware 3.19.5761, latest OTA)...

The weird thing is when I go to Settings => WiFi connection => Edit WiFi networks they are all stored correctly! It just does not seem to be able to find them and use the info to connect? I tried turning WiFi off & on again, rebooting the device... I haven't tried a factory reset since I just got it and haven't really done anything yet anyway.

Has anybody else experienced this?
