Hi, I have a problem with my Kobo H2o original version. It cannot connect to Wifi if I use the latest firmware version 4.15.12920 . It always says "cannot connect." I recently found this from someone on the site.

A common reason for no connection is that the device attempts to connect to a URL during the connection set-up. If this fails, the connection is dropped. The URL used depends on the firmware. Until fairly recently, the URL was http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt. Kobo is now using http://www.kobo.com/buildinfo.xml.
If you find that is the problem, firmware 4.9.11311 has a hidden option to not do these checks. Adding the following to the KoboReader.conf file should fix this.
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true
If you already have the FeatureSettings section, just add the other line after it. |
It is true that kobo.com is blocked here in China. I did try using the suggested firmware in the above message and that did work. I would like to use the latest firmware instead. Is it possible to fix this?
I contacted Kobo Live support and they said kobo.com isn't blocked. I also cannot run a Vpn through the router. I just want to be able to use the browser again in the beta features area. Of course resetting the Kobo to factory settings lets me connect to Wifi again since the old firmware uses the Microsoft Kobo Wifi Check site.
Please help!
Thank you!
