Recently, every day after the DHCP lease expires, my Kobo Libra H2O just fails to re-connect until I disable and re-enable the wifi on my router. The network appears in the list, but when I click it and then enter my password, it just gives me a message about it failing to connect.

This only started after Hurricane Fiona knocked out my power for a few days. I'd disabled wifi during that time because I thought it might preserve battery life, then re-enabled it later.

I dug through the router settings but nothing seems to have changed since the outage. (Also, seeing as it was unplugged from the wall, I don't think a power surge took it out.)

Has anybody else seen this? Any ideas of how to fix it?
