"Does you router show if an IP address has been allocated?" - How do I check this?

"Or show the device in the list of connected devices?" - Do you mean on the Clara itself?
Both of those will be on the router. You will need to login to the admin console and look. Exactly how depends on the router. But, there should be a connected device list and there should be a section for DHCP showing the allocated IP addresses.

"Can you reach the Kobo server from one of your other devices on the network?" - I will try on my computer now.
Once connected to the WiFi, the device tries to fetch http://www.kobo.com/buildinfo.xml. If you can reach that from another device on the network, it should be OK.
