Same s*** as any update after 4.7.10413: No Wifi anymore.
I have an Unifi WiFi network in my house (1 USG, 2 AP, Wifi N/B/G, 2.4GHz, 5GHz disabled (currently no need)), Wifi works flawlessly with all devices (2 iPhones, iPad, Fire TV Stick, Office Laptop, the LG refrigerator, and some other devices), even with my Kobo Aura HD up to firmware 4.7.10413. But if I upgrade to some version above, I always get a Wifi connection Error. The Kobo asks for Wifi password, and quits with "Unable to connect". No matter what settings I use for my Wifi (even with enabled 5GHz).

Just another guess as I don't know when the Wifi WPA2 patches had been incorporated by Kobo into their firmware: is your Wifi access point of a recent version with respect to the IEEE 802.11 protocols? As there were replay attacks on the AP attachment process, this has been changed. As far as I remember, the changes apply to the Wifi non-AP stations only, that is "clients", not access points (APs). However, depending on your Wifi AP vendor's firmware, especially if it hasn't been maintained in a while, there might be older bugs now surfacing, due to the new Wifi clients' more strict handling of AP association. But then, just a guess.
