And even if my wifi weren't working, the Kobo should be able to see the numerous other wifi networks in my apartment building!)
2. Sometimes when I swipe a page to turn forward it turns back instead. This doesn't happen in every book, but once it does happen in a particular book it's likely to happen again randomly in that book.
Otherwise the reader works fine.

About the WiFi, when you connect to the WiFi, the Kobo tried to connect to some website and if it fails to connect, the WiFi will drop. There is an option you can add to the config to stop the website connection and just connect to the WiFi.

But, recent firmware should be prompting if it cannot connect and ask if you want to connect anyway. If that isn't happening, you can try adding the following to the config file:
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true
This will tell the firmware to ignore the results of the check and stay connected. |
