I always make sure the WiFi is turned off after this pitiful performance. Then one day, BAM!, the WiFi is on and I'm connected with full bars.
As a comparison, on my Glo HD I can hit Sync, it will ask me to turn on the Wifi, it will connect and finish in less time that it takes for the Aura One to finish just trying to turn the WiFi on.
It's a good thing I don't buy my books from Kobo, or I would be even more disappointed with its performance than I already am. Of course this also means I can never get any of my Pocket articles or borrow books from the online library. It still amazes me how much better my old Glo HD works, even though it's running the exact same version firmware, when compared to the device meant to replace it. It takes more than a great screen to make a great product.

I had similar issues with wifi on my H2O.
It used to connect fine while i was using the old ddwrt router firmware from around 2013 i suppose, but after upgrading to the latest 2017 build i also started having problems and it wouldnt connect. It would try for about a minute or so , and then ask for the password again.
The problem turned out to be an option they recently added to the firmware, "noise immunity" in advanced wifi settings. After turning this off, my H2O started connecting with no problems once again.
There is part of the blame on kobo too, something in the way they coded the wifi doesnt like that option ticked. My phone connects no problem even with the "noise immunity" option on.
So you could have a similar situation as mine, and might want to troubleshoot the router. Option could be called with different name on your particular model
