And to make things even more trying we life in a piss poor cell reception area so trying to use our phones as a wifi hot-spot doesn't work. Quite frankly it's pissing me off. Any suggestions before I wipe the devices and tell kobo to f*** off?
Does your ISP know you are setting a static IP address? My ISP does that for business accounts only which makes it quite a bit more expensive. Is the static IP address you are setting in same address range as the DCHP assigned address? Perhaps you might want to look into dynamic DNS if you need to access your internal network from outside?
