On the Kobo at least, I believe the connectivity test can be overridden. See this post for info

A common reason for no connection is that the device attempts to connect to a URL during the connection set-up. If this fails, the connection is dropped. The URL used depends on the firmware. Until fairly recently, the URL was http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt. Kobo is now using http://www.kobo.com/buildinfo.xml.
If you find that is the problem, firmware 4.9.11311 has a hidden option to not do these checks. Adding the following to the KoboReader.conf file should fix this.
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true
If you already have the FeatureSettings section, just add the other line after it. |
