I'm pretty sure that it is China that is doing the blocking. The problem has been discussed plenty of times before. And, with the recent firmware, WiFi should work. The device does attempt to contact a URL on the Kobo domain. If it cannot to do this, it prompts with a message about whether to continue connecting or not. One reply stops the connection, the other lets the device connect to your WiFi. Any access to the internet is up to what is available to you at the time.

You can also add the following lines to the config file to connect without this promp.

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal
If the first line is already there, add the second line in the block after it.
