I have a Nook Simple Touch Reader BNRV300 that I haven't used since 2017. I'd like to deregister it, wipe it clean, and give it to my daughter.

I charged it up and it powered up just fine. The time clock was wrong, but I expected that. Since we changed our router and have a new wifi password it couldn't get the correct time. Once I entered the new password and it connected, the time updated properly.

Everything seems okay, and the Nook reports that it is connected to the network, but when I try to deregister it I get an error message that it needs to connect to the internet but there is no connection. I've tried turning off the wifi and turning it back on again, but I just get the same error message.

My next step is to check with B&N support, but they were never very helpful in the past so I thought I'd post here.

Does anyone know of any steps I'm missing?
You need to download the lateness update then manually install it on your nook in order to connect.

Now for a drink the person who did the B&N website musk be a drunk.
