If you are doing this in the hopes of improved security, forget it. Every connected device and the access point itself will send the SSID in management packets which can be captured and displayed. See Acrylic's page on this at

AFAIR, no 5GHz support in the Kobo hardware. As for the upper case? Look for the up arrow below the a and to the left of the z (QWERTY keyboard). Tap once to shift, tap twice to shift lock, tap a 3rd time to release shift lock.

I've set up enough Kobo readers from the good old days of needing a computer to current. I have to wonder how an inability to locate the shift key on the on-screen keyboard becomes a setup issue.
If worse comes to worse, try using the Kobo Desktop app on your Windows or Mac PC to connect and do the initial setup and firmware update that way.
And again, hidden SSIDs are like MAC address filtering in that their only use is to give a false sense of security.
