The old one was called "calibre-companion.koplugin" or something like that.
About network topology: ip/port works always (as long as you can ping the ip of the calibre server from your kobo). Auto-discovery relies on your router, as it needs to broadcast the connection attempt to all the devices on your network.
Auto-discovery can be flaky if you use some sort of wifi extender, different subnets or certain firewall rules.

I've never manually edited my anything on the KO Reader, I just keep it up to date all the time.
I have recently added a wifi extender, so I tried to connect to my main router wirelessly and that didn't resolve the issue.
I have both
plugins\calibre.koplugin
contains: (all .lua)
_meta
extensions
main
metadata
search
wireless
plugins\calibrecompanion.koplugin
contains: (all .lua)
_meta
main
I appreciate your help, I hope we can get to the bottom of this one.
As for my firewalls, all are pretty lax, but I'm asking which ports I need to open in case adding them manually will work.
As I stated, I've given my wireless an IP and tried to manually enter said IP in my kobo reader and that hasn't worked.
