And after updating to 4.14.12777, the problem is still here. I guess I will have to wait for another update.
Other than with my Touch, I am seeing no problems with any of my Kobo devices with WiFi connections with the three different WiFi networks I commonly use (home, work and phone) with either of these firmware versions.

One thing that does occur to me is that these are the first firmware versions released since they dropped support for some of the older devices. This was because their firmware did not support newer web security protocols. It is possible that Kobo have also changed something in the WiFi security protocol support at the same time. Dropping WEP or even WPA might make sense. An older router, or one configure to prefer the older protocols might cause problems. I'm not really expecting this to be the case, as I would have expected a change like this to be mentioned somewhere. Or noticed by someone.
