Thank you for the recommendations, @DNSB and @davidfor. After a judicious poke with a paperclip through the little hole in the back, I managed to persuade my N905 to accept a wired connection to my wife's PC running the Kobo desktop application, and restored it to sanity. It now works with all three wireless access points in our house (why we have three is a *long* story!).

Interestingly enough, I haven't been able to find anything in the "Device information" screen which tells me the model number; fortunately I still have the box that it came in when I bought it, and that indicates that it's an N905-KDN-S. The "Device information" screen *does* give me the software version: 4.21.15015 (dbef21c40c, 5/13/20), so pretty recent...

If I have a similar problem in the future, I'll follow the course suggested by @DNSB, and connect the Kobo to my Linux desktop PC to transfer the latest software version. At the moment, it ain't broke so I won't try to fix it!

Thanks, both

Ian
